Touchdown!

This is Auden's favorite way to sleep. I think it's hilarious. Touchdown!

Been really busy lately. Had a couple poems picked up by Front Porch. They'll be out in October, in Issue 8. Excited by this. Also have a poem forthcoming in the next issue of Controlled Burn. Also exciting.

Reading, and loving, Dante's Commedia. I'm reading the Allen Mandelbaum translation. Outstanding. Simply beautiful.

Going to the Post Office tomorrow. I'm prepared to meet the September contest deadlines. Sigh.

Auden is okay, but he has to see a Pediatric Surgeon next week though. Kinda scary, but nothing's for certain yet. We'll know more, as is customary, after the surgical consultation.

My Cubbies are in fine form. God willing they'll end the 100-year drought this year... but I'm not holding my breath. I'm just gonna cheer and pray.

Back to work: Charles Wright, Roethke, Dan Beachy-Quick's A Whaler's Dictionary. Sweet.
