The good news gets better! Natalie Shapero’s poem (Nymphet) from 32 Poems will appear in Best New Poets 2006. I am always thrilled when a poet who has appeared in 32 Poems get more recognition for their work. Congratulations […]
Welcome to Night Four of Mama Tries to Sleep 4 Hours in a Row.
DH was out with the beer can collectors. O and I went out with friends. O and I came home and were in bed by 9 pm. **I did not wake until 2 am!** Since we’re supposed to close down the Dairy […]

I’ve just come back from Orlando — and, more importantly, the Orlando airport — where large stuffed children and dolphins can be found in great supply. (Okay, not really children but it made me laugh at least.)
