Loose Leaf Notes

1. And some call us ScRABBLE Rousers. 

2. The Thinkers (as in Rodin).

3. Did someone cheat?

5. Everybody loves a parade. Veterans Parade story and photo coming soon in this week’s Floyd Times.

6. Best SNL joke: “Going from Susie Wiles to Steven Miller (as chief of staff) is like trying to get through a dinner party by switching from wine to meth.” Colin Jost SNL

7. “My favorite part of fall this year has been watching the states change colors.” My Facebook friend June

9. When my body is gone from this world / look for me in the moon / I’ll be lounging in its crescent / Maybe riding a bike / with ET on the handlebars…

10. I’ll be eating cheese / until I’m full / I’ll shine a silver lining / on your moon shadow / I’ll linger and illume / wish you goodnight / and hold up the  mirror of reflective light

12. Don’t wait for the U / to use the Q / Don’t take shortcuts / or use your notebook / to balance an uneven table…Read my poem How to Write a Poem in its entirety HERE.

13. “Let’s be very clear as we move forward. Enforcing the law and holding criminals accountable for corruption and abuse is not retribution. It is justice. It’s not about getting even. It’s about getting back to how things should be.” Jay Kuo, Status Kuo
