Frostie



"...All night I wander alone, searching in vain for the irretrievable.

In the night I will drink from a cup of ashes and yellow paint. ..."

From "Nights on Planet Earth" by Campbell McGrath

First full week back at the office (whew), and now need to get caught up on schoolwork. Oh yes, also reaching out for Italian tutoring, among other bits of trouble-making.

If I'm not too punk tomorrow, will wander some with a camera in hand. (Yay! Fresh pixels!)

Didn't realize you worked for Frostie.

Hi gents!

Dale: Muchas grassy a**!

Steven: That's one of the things I like about the hunt for a poem bit -- I get to learn about poets and poems I'd never known, and remind myself that the world is just dripping with creative energy.

Shelly: With 65+ days of temps at 100+ F this summer, will definitely work for Frostie. ;-)
