Well, it's that time of the month. Time for me to put together a manuscript submission for my small group. Since I've been on my back most of the month, I've gotten no writing done, and am unsure what poems to include.…
Jen & I didn't win the Powerball last night. *sigh*
So, last August I applied for disability. They said it would take 45 days to process. I had been told by others that you always get denied your first try, then …
Well, we were very glad to have Libby join us at the Mushroom last night. We had fun and she did well at trivia. We missed Marie and Anthony though! I got my signed book contract off in the mail yesterday. I must beg…
Not much to blog about today. I got my signed copy of the new book contract off in the mail today. I'm dying to know when I'll get the proofs. I'm sure it will be awhile yet. Jen & I have been kicking around publ…
Well, I was right about the NFL draft and UT players, generally speaking. We had four taken. Casey Clausen didn't even get drafted, although 17 quarterbacks were picked. You would think a quarterback who won 10 games …
Well, I was right. No UT player was selected in the NFL draft yesterday, while six Miami players were selected in the first round alone (the same Miami team UT beat). Frankly, I'll be surprised if we get more than a co…
I had lunch with my parents yesterday and everything went well until ... politics. They're ardent Bush supporters and don't understand how anyone could not like the man. They went on and on about the non-platform of De…
I hope everyone who went to see Prince last night had a good time. I didn't care to go, but I had a good time anyway. I went to Sundown in the City, with thousands of others, to see Bob Marley's old band, the Wailers. …
Am listening to all of my This Ascension CDs today. God, I love the Projekt label! http://www.projekt.com/ I have all of the Black Tape for a Blue Girl CDs, Love Spirals Downwards, and more. Projekt keeps coming out …
Today I have my back appointment. The odd thing is, I'm feeling much better. All on my own. I wonder how much medical aid I'll need if things keep improving on their own....
Our friend Sandy is being deployed to Iraq…
Not much to blog about today. I got a rejection from the California Quarterly, but undeterred, I am sending out more submissions today: to the Hiram Poetry Review, Hunger, Hunger Mountain, The Brownstone Review, and The…
Well, my back appointment today has been moved to Wednesday. Bummer. I guess I just have to keep taking Vicodin until then. My back is feeling a little better though.
I think my sleep apnea is returning. I went to B…
Well, Jen spilled the beans already, but as I was out shopping yesterday, I went to Borders and who did I run into but Carson, from Queer Eye! He was just a customer in line, like anyone else, although people were talki…
Jen & I both have poems up at Liquid Muse: http://www.angelfire.com/poetry/liquidmuse/Poetry.html
It looks like I finally have my newest book accepted by a publisher. I received an email last night from the Acquis…
A note about Atlanta traffic. Bullshit! Cough, cough. Everyone's been telling me how Atlanta traffic is now officially worse than L.A.'s. These people apparently have never been to Los Angeles. I lived in L.A. for n…
Jen & I spent three hours at the Lensgraf Back Clinic today. They took eight x-rays. Apparently, I have a degenerative disk in my lower back, and a pinched nerve. Pain, folks. The disk looked pretty bad on the x-…
We're back!!! And early, too.
Before we left, I started to experience increasingly difficult lower back pain. It got worse exponentially as time went by, so that I can barely move now. I don't know why. I haven't…
Well, we're off to Georgia this morning. See everyone in a week!
My poem, "TB," is up on Split Shot, at http://wow-schools.net/Split_Shot/poetry/tb.php.
Bye!!!
Well, Jen and I are off to Georgia in the morning. It'll be a whirlwind week. We'll be busy as hell. I wish we had scheduled some time to enjoy the beach and see some more friends (we'll be seeing some), but we just c…
Well, I was right. It was often a competitive game, but UConn won 70-61 for their fifth national championship and third straight. When we cut the lead to 50-48, I thought for sure, we'd be pulling it off, but we threw …
Well, Georgia Tech looked pretty bad against UConn last night. Now UConn has an opportunity to be double champs, in men's and women's. I think things are looking bad for tonight's Lady Vols game. UConn is 12-6 alltime…
Well, I think I was right about the Lady Vols. They didn't even show up in the first half and somehow, once again for the third straight game, pulled it out in the final two seconds for a 52-50 win over LSU. Boy! And …
Wow, how 'bout those games last night!!! Georgia Tech hung on to beat Oklahoma State 67-65 while Duke. Duke had an 11 point lead with five minutes left and didn't score again until their meaningless 3 pointer to end th…
Jen had a bad headache when she got home last night, so we didn't go out. Instead, I went to BlockBuster and got Bend it Like Beckham and The Italian Job. I had seen both, but she hadn't, so it was fun. She liked them…
Nuthin to say. Nothing. Nothing.
OK, actually, I got my workshop group's manuscript submissions yesterday. So I have a weekend of reading and critiquing to do. I feel good, because many of my peers haven't even gott…
You have a dominant kiss- you take charge and make sure your partner can feel it! Done artfully, it can be very satisfactory if he/she is into you playing the dominant role MEORW! What kind of kiss are you? brought to…
I realize I may be echoing Jen here, but she beat me to the punch. She called me up last night because she locked her keys in her car out west and I went to save the day. Then we decided to go play trivia at Charlie Pe…
