Musings by a sometimes poet. Wednesday, April 25, 2007. Odds and ends for the end of April. Good news, I finally finished Connecticut in a poem starring Benedict Arnold, born in the Nutmeg State. We are left with Alaska as #50, DC and maybe something for the territories. (The index is at January 5.). However, I’m not posting it. The poem is being workshopped this week. I will drop in a couple of light bits though just to keep you interested. The book of the week is John Grisham’s nonfiction treatise,.

The Dawg House: September 2005

http://garydawg.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html

Musings by a sometimes poet. Thursday, September 29, 2005. When the Levee Floods the City. When the Levee Floods the City. Out of Louie Armstrong. We are traveling roads we do not know. Seeking shelter and the higher ground. Not knowing if we will be reunited. If our children will ever be found. Oh, when the levee floods the City. When the levee floods the City. Oh lord, I’ll be homeless in that number,. When the levee floods the City. And when storm clouds hide the sun. And when storm clouds hide the sun.

Musings by a sometimes poet. Monday, March 12, 2007. I finished Joe Hill's. And it is a good as I thought it would be. One of the best in the haunt genre you will read. Today, I finally caught. On cable. While it is largely a slide show (How many of those did I sit through while I was working), it is also excellant and well worth your time. The statistics and views of lost ice and snow (such as Soon-to-be No Glacier National Park) are impressive. Maybe Al Gore should run for president. Quay wall bare of ...

The Dawg House: The State of Kentucky and a Sad State in Virginia

http://garydawg.blogspot.com/2007/04/state-of-kentucky-and-sad-state-in.html

Musings by a sometimes poet. Tuesday, April 17, 2007. The State of Kentucky and a Sad State in Virginia. Today, we grieve and are angry. Another school shooting, another alleged disenfranchised shooter takes his anger out on innocents. And within hours, we. A rush to judgment. Why didn’t they shut down the campus, find the guy, have police in all the class rooms, notify everyone of the first shooting? A rush to security. A rush to solutions. A rush to rat. Is there someone who is a loner, doesn’t mix in?

Musings by a sometimes poet. Friday, January 06, 2006. The best ever said to me. Including when a rejection said I wa sfunny, but not funny enough. The review below written by my good friend and MindFire partner, Thomas Fortenberry. He overstates, but that is okay. Sales on the book are slow, so if you were thinking of buying. You will get a corrected copy. As H G. Wells phrased it, The past is but the beginning of a beginning. To put it very mildly - compressing years worth of friendship, work, and grow...
