Uncle Dave Lewis lives in a hole in the back of his brain, filled with useless trivia about 78 rpm records, silent movies, unfinished symphonies, broken up punk bands from the 80s and other old stuff no one cares about. This is where he goes to let off a little steam- perhaps you will find it useful, perhaps not. Who knows?

A long impasse between the post of 5/23 and now (6/9) indicates a lapse, and indeed there was one. I attended the ARSC conference in Philadelphia, and then travelled north to New York City, Albany and Niagara Falls, then through Canada back to Ann Arbor. This was a huge circle that was 8 days long and meant 1600 miles of driving, and I am still recovering. However the conference was wonderful and the other days, particularly that spent in Niagara Falls, all had high points which I will try to recount once I'm not quite so tired. Currently I am occupied cultivating the inside of a dead cocoon wrapped in a patina of deadness (shades of Samuel Beckett!)

I did, however, conceive of the following verse while trying to stay awake driving home:

Fugitive Verse of a Corpulent Opera Star

Some folks have ships that do come in
But mine happens to be a truck
Should it read "Piggly Wiggly" on the side
Then I will have been in luck.
