A weird day. It was my little brother’s 31st birthday – Happy Birthday Mike!
One of my father’s older sisters had a heart attack.
My college roommate (hi, Dr. Tara!) wrote me out of the blue, along with one of my co-workers from Virginia! (Did I mention how many of the friends of my youth are doctors? Like, a dozen. I am seriously the black sheep of my set. Poet. How many lives are poets saving? Of course, poets like Dr. C Dale Young and Dr. Peter Pereira are excluded.)
And a little poetry news in the midst of all this – one of the poems from my book, “Persephone and the Prince Meet Over Drinks,” will be anthologized in the 2007 edition of The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror. Pretty exciting.
And, Steve Mueske’s Poetry 365 will feature the poem “My Little Brother, in Parts” this week. Thanks Steve!

But enough about me – go congratulate Suzanne!
