- Being able to make the crowd laugh several times at a reading is all I really want. It's also funny when you go to a reading, and your friends, who are not part of the poetry scene, bump into as many people they know there as you do.
- We have the drainage issues mostly resolved (or at least in a workable place) and the downstairs room mostly cleaned out, so now it's just drywalling and carpeting. I hope to be into my real room two weekends from now.
- By then, I should also have a new computer delivered. I went through Dell because I could still get a new computer with Windows XP on it, and I don't want the hassle of upgrading to Vista until it's a little more widespread, especially since I can't use the new Word for work.
- I neglected to mention on the blog a couple weeks ago that I'm now a first-time uncle. My niece's name is Maile (my-lee, a Hawaiian flowering vine). I don't know when I'll first get to meet her.
- Anyone who gets me to move to a different state ought to know that part of me will always be in Colorado.
- I changed the title of my manuscript thanks to whoever brought Anne's discussion of titles to my attention. It's now Torched Verse Ends.
