Going Off-line a little while
10/07/2005 04:36 p.m.
Just letting folks know I'll be off-line for two weeks as of tomorrow sometime. Oh for a lap top! But will check back when I move back home.

It's been very hectic lately, but I'm taking a little breather this aft, have packed for my sister's and thought out all the things to remember for there and for my work waiting at home. And the family here etc.

I'm sure after that stay in the country, helping with the horse, cats, woodstove, cooking, etc. (we'll probably do a turkey Sun.)_as she recovers from back surgery, I'll have a new wealth of experiences from which to write. And I found a great radio station for multicultural music and talk, today so I'll practice Italian there.

Ciao for now. PS I had a poem accepted for our university English Department's Quarterly and website, Bywords, which will probably be posted on-line sometime soon, as it's for October's issue. It's the poem called "After".
I am listening to Italian on the Radio

Grats on your poem being accepted. Hope you enjoy your sisters place and I hope she has a speedy recovery from back surgery.

Yes, Mare and I discussed yesterday how you'll miss your computer and community links for a time. I know you're a prolific note taker though, and imagine you may even pen some poems the ol' fashioned way while out there, which also has its advantages. Some of my best recent work has had its first drafts done with pen and paper, while I waited my turn on the computer. Not surprisingly because of the extra physical work of writing as opposed to typing, with no backspace, edit, or delete, one is more careful in choosing the words at the first go, which I find makes for a stronger foundation when finally getting back on the computer to input the result. All the best, and Happy Thanksgiving. I'll keep in touch. :o)
