Guess who chose wasting the day over errands? Sorry there’s nothing to see here today. I got scribbling a little bit tonight, and I’m choosing that over the blog entry. It’s not real writing – at least, not like I used to do. But it’s adding words to the page that weren’t there before… and that’s something I haven’t done…
I’ve got the day off tomorrow, as I’m taking back a comp day from having worked every weekend for the last three weeks or so. I’ve got maybe 4 days total that I need to take back, but it’s not that realistic that I can grab them all in one fell swoop – so it’ll be bit by bit, I…
This is right outside my place. I’m not sure how long the garden hose has been sitting here, but I’m pretty certain it was like this all winter. The fence, on the other hand, has been around much longer.
I’ve been taking a few snapshots here and there, gathering pics. I need to get a few more of the signage outside the store, along with some video of the coffee roaster at work. I’ve been wanting to document the coffee shop for some time now, particularly since I’ve been going there almost twice daily, ever since I started working…

So far, I’m completely taken with Kooser’s thoughts on poetry. I’m only…

Stop trying to spoil the magic. Just for that, I’m going to call you Spoily McSpoilerson from now on.
I’m not sure how I’ve missed it until now. But today, when I went to get coffee… I saw this flower at the base of the steps. Unlike most houses on this street, my front yard is actually below street level, giving me a set of stairs that lead up to the sidewalk. I made it a point to step…
Haven’t had a chance to do this, but finally grabbed a shot of all the books I ordered recently. Haven’t had time to peruse them much, but I’m looking forward to going through a lot of the poetry soon.
