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.
