    2020-11-28 The Clandestine Miss SugarCookie Miraculously Finds Five Hundred Followers

    Loving this long weekend so far. Really letting myself get into all of this Christmas business and doing it all just the way I’d want to do it if I was alone on the island. Alone in the castle. Alone with only myself to please. But I’m still doing the dishes, to keep the natives…

    2020-11-27 Save Room for Pie 🥧

    Lots of folks lament about not being able to spend time with family for the holiday, or maybe lament isn’t the right word. We’re past lamenting and have arrived at heavy sigh. Truth is, though, I’m grateful for not having to go to some family gathering. I’m sure I’m not alone in that sentiment. How…

    I’m cooking the traditional today, for the 3 or so other people who also live here and want to partake. 3 people with picky palates and tummies and are used to getting exactly what they want and when. Today.. at the Castle, I’m making it all about me. I’m cooking food that I like to…

  • 2020-11-24 Aunt Jemima and Her Storied History

    Among conversations I had two weeks ago during a session where Jim and I poured through some of my 30 year old poetry was a quick detour to google the soon-to-disappear figure of Aunt Jemima. Wikipedia offered us a fairly thorough history of the advertising beauty based on once easily accepted stereotypes. She was not…

    2020-11-23 From Procrastination to Motivation and Beyond

    Success so far today. And now I’m back on the treadmill because I can. I did something I’ve been procrastinating (sending GLR declines) and making a dent actually fueled me with motivation to move on a few other things as well. I had sent in my residency workshop materials but there were a few very…

    2020-11-16 The Distance is Taking a Toll

    I can’t reach my oxygen mask. Blurry, I stretch toward yellow and white plastic dangling near me. But its A rotten banana peel hanging from an empty Wal-Mart sack. It turns brown as the tips of my fingers poke at it, trying to get a grip. I read a poem about a boy revered by…

    2020-11-14 Doing the Math ➖➗➕

    Broke my streak yesterday. Worked on my workshop submission both fine tuning the lines and deciding which poems were worthy of such rare attention. It’s really a confidence game at this point.  I was tired and had an unusual day that went astray from my normal routine. With my dauber down, not a poem in…
