I can't work out when RS sleeps! I open his blog often and most times
scan his hyperlinks for interesting news and articles. He's a mjor
resource of poetry news for me in my various locations - but not the
only one. You guys and gals supply a lot too, so thank you. I don't
find JG too insulting - I take most of what he says with a bag of
salt. I admit to being impressed with his skill at those doggerel
pieces.
Got to go to work now my wife tells me. Sigh. The day starts with Mass today -
