Loose Leaf Notes

1. Imagine if you had to measure your height against an amusement park ride chart to see if you were tall enough to read THIS poem.

2. A flea takes off from my runway desk / How do I know it’s not working for Delta / with little flea passengers buckled up inside / booked for vacation on some dog or cat paradise / and my hand isn’t inclement weather?

3. Sometimes a Sunday drive is a walk.

4. The moon is just going through a phase.

5. A single strand of moon / Loose curl of light / First silver hair / in a shock of dark night.

6. Watch my 7-year-old grandson Bryce give his Hopa “a cannonball piece of love” HERE.

7. The picture I wished I took last week but was too lazy to get up and snap was of a scene I saw at the pool. There was a group of little kids sitting on the pool’s edge during “adult swim” and shouting “splash us,” while the over 18 kids did cannonballs off the diving board next to them.  It was almost as cool as another pool scene I saw years ago and regretted not taking of some women snapping beans poolside, under an umbrella.

8. Speaking of beans, I just picked the mother load of them and find myself asking to bean or not bean, to can or can not?  Last year’s “Bean There Done That” HERE.

9. “It’s not about as many people as possible having the Floydfest experience – although it was like that for a couple of years because we wanted to share it with as many people as we could – it’s about people having the best possible Floydfest experience.”  – Read about the latest changes for Floydfest (starting today!) from a story I wrote for the paper HERE.

10. Ever since I saw THESE fascinating pictures of the excavated bodies of the Easter Island Heads, I’ve been wondering what else exists just below the surface.

11. In my world a BF is a Butterfly.

12. Yes, I’m that person whose car is pulled off to the side of the road for wildflowers but who doesn’t need assistance. Thanks for asking.  – More HERE.

13. THIS is how nanas do dramatic play.
