The Weekly Clean-Up

 











-  Some weird stuff going on with the mail lately.  Got something from Massachusetts way after it was sent.  Somebody in New York claimed he sent something, but I never got it.  Sent a couple PWEs out before Valentine's Day - one for a trade and one as a birthday gift, and I'm not sure if either was received. 

-  Read a book of interviews with directors.  John Woo, John Waters, Joel Coen, George Romero, etc.  It's a decent read, but not special.

-  Lawrence Ferlinghetti passed.  I've read a few of his poetry books.  But he's probably more famous   for City Lights bookstore and fighting the censors to publish Allen Ginsberg's Howl! 

    -  A poem is a mirror walking down a strange street.

    -  Silence hung like a lost idea.

    -  We have seen the best minds of our generation

        destroyed by boredom at poetry readings

    -  Think long thoughts in short sentences.

Bet a Dodgers fan they won't repeat as World Series winners.

  1. I expect the USPS to be screwy for awhile still. And it'd be nice if people would take a second to let others know that they received something from them, that way one isn't left wondering if it ever got there or not.

  2. The USPS is weird. A PWE within the same state might take a week to arrive... while a padded envelope sent across the country might only take 3 days.
