I’ve been feeling quiet lately. I’ve blogged less. I want to walk in the autumn air, go to the playground, watch the kids squeal. A little boy (a playground ‘regular’) admires O. from anear. She’s delighted and squeals. We took her to the library this evening to replenish the board books, and I got myself […]
Creativity is not apart from life. It IS life.
Peter Levitt says: “Every moment is an opportunity for new expression” and that “whether we are answering the telephone, changing the baby, riding the subway, or writing a poem, we are in touch with the creative source of life itself.” Every moment provides for us a […]
We’re headed to the Shenandoahs with friends this weekend. Fall is THE most popular time to visit Shenandoah National Park, so it was happy fortune that helped me find an available 3-bedroom cabin.

Still waiting for my Robert Vasquez […]

William Logan reads at Chapter’s Literary book store tomorrow night at 7 pm.
Tomorrow, we’re having a group birthday party for the little one. Those of us from town with little ones born August - November 2005 are co-hosting a shindig at a local park. One friend is not able to make it because she has to stick around work for the space shuttle to launch. I hope […]
According to Money Magazine, being a professor is one of the top three jobs. The other two are financial planner and software engineer.
Look at this if you are a poet looking for a teaching job. In Lancaster, you could trade your car in for a buggy.
