And your birthday's coming around again Ken! Isn't that great!
I'm going to have a new blog soon, a more interactive one.
The thaw is setting in! In fact the snow that is at this moment falling
from the sky in Providence Rhode Island is already thawed out. Which
makes me wonder what on earth is happening up above those opaque clouds.
Giant heavenly lovemaking.

Well, I do not know about others but Ken enjoys Mairead's poetry. Last
February 23, his birthday, Mairead put up by the coincidence in which
Ken does not believe, a little ditty that he copied, formatted, and
printed out without her permission. Said ditty speaks directly to his
life.

Yes, soppy as it may sound, Ken numbers Mairead among his teachers.
Screw ironic detachment.
