Watch out, Richmond! Your southern entrenched plantation owner/slave rebellion bullshit mentality will not blot out or put down the excitement of new (and not so new ventures)

People get so attached in this town, they do something once, sometimes even half-assed, but then, oh then- it becomes their property in perpetuity and God help the poor schlub who dares to make a step a little farther on the path-

There are two bugaboos right now- a place and a person- oddly enough, not connected (though actually they probably are somewhere back in time).

All will be decided soon, on both counts. And I will still be doing all that I do- writing, reading, and promoting poetry. I suppose that's my mission statement- that and to encourage participants in all manner of involvement in the written arts, but hey!

Anyway- I will hold on and see what transpires- there are good folks out there working hard that I can give encouragment to (and you know who you are).

maybe it's the position of the planets- a lot of shit seems to be coming down all over right now-
