Hey folks,
I'm trying to consolidate all my "stuff" so have moved my major blogging to here:

Should things change, I'll post another link.
Thanks!

What would Molly say? "Raise more hell!"
One of my heroes was Molly Ivins. She wasn't afraid to speak out, to tell the truth. I just ran across this article about Molly Ivins by Betsy Moon. It makes me miss Molly even more. I also enjoyed finding this list of her articles in the archive on the AlterNet site.
Here's one of my favorite quotes by her:
"What you need is sustained outrage...there's far too much unthinking respect given to authority."
Perhaps I'll embroider her motto, "Raise more hell!" on my underpants. I think she would approve.
Happy trails,

Buy a book of poetry!
Dear friends,
We have several conversations going on around the 'net about how people just don't ready poetry anymore. I wonder, why? I buy a lot of poetry and read it. Mostly, because I write poetry, and it inspires me, but also because I like to support the work of writers who I know make very little money on their art. And yes, writing poetry IS an art. I also read poetry because I can get a story, a short glimpse into somebody else's thoughts, in just a few words.
Next time you're in a bookstore, check out the poetry section. It's a whole different world out there these days, especially in the realm of women's poetry. Browse the section, pick out one for a gift for somebody you love, grab one that calls to you. What? Books don't call out to you from the shelves? How odd! Perhaps you aren't listening. :--)

Johnny Depp in a fedora...
I'm here to tell you.....just five words. Ponder this:
"Johnny Depp in a fedora."
Big guns, vintage cars, steam locomotives.
Need I say more?
Til next time....
