Last night after Circle at the Sanctuary, I found something in my mailbox there. It was a bill from JC Penney's (where I used to work part-time) from 1994.

Thursday night, I went to hang out with Beth and Mary, had coffee, talked for a few hours. A false storm came up and Beth's power went out. Helped her get some candles set up and went home ( Read more... )

Beth picked me up at 8 this morning to take me to my court for my expired tags. First, city court is evidently the best place to go a-bear-huntin'. I got eyed up and down by THREE hairy-faced, cap-wearin', big fellas ( Read more... )

I hope Beth leaves in my fart jokes and ( Read more... )

The opening for the photography show that I had poetry pieces in was last night: Action/Reaction. Beth went with me, and her friend Elizabeth met us there. I had really dreaded it: millin' and minglin' ... blech! Being billed as a "textual artist" when I saw myself as a poet, not a visual artist at all, made me a little nervous ( Read more... )

Had my head ducked, not checked in here in a while. Let me try to give a list-format update ( Read more... )
