If any of you are interested in poetry or Native poetry...
My friend, the Navajo poet, Sherwin Bitsui was on the Joe Milford Poetry Show last night. Sherwin is the author of "Shapeshift" and "Flood Song." "Flood Song" came out a few months ago and was featured in an issue of Poets & Writers Magazine. It's an excellent interview, well worth checking out. -Bill

Work, work, work, and occasionally acquiring vintage typewriters and office supplies. As a journalist, I bet you can relate a little. ;)

A little video of our typewriter display. (You can blame Call Me Wesley if it gives you seizures.) :rofl:

5. Har!
Someone, somewhere, is tossing back a strand of languid, dishwatery, strawberry blonde-esque hair, and weeping in gratitude. :rofl:
