what's new

[bronze_ribbons]

General state of the Peg: recovering from a nastily virulent bout of bronchitis (severe enough to prod me into working on my will, although I'm feeling past the worst of it); working feverishly (way too literally for my taste) through the typical clustermangle of myriad projects; getting oriented as the new treasurer of my church's endowment; possibly on the verge of closing on the sale of my mother's house. My respiratory system may have the stability of a Rube Goldberg spaghetti-shaver, but I am armed with copious quantities of stubbornness, dried squid, and tea. I shall prevail!

My recent posts @ JournalScape (http://www.journalscape.com/mechaieh) have been about...

24 August: a link to Maho Kiwi's call to action re: the conscience rule. [Side note: if the current regime had wanted to give me added incentive to volunteer for Obama's campaign, they couldn't have picked a better means. Between that and McCain's multiple votes against increasing minimum wage...)

23 August: Edna St. Vincent Millay is still relevant

21 August: Two poems of mine at Dead Mule; links to a poem by Rodney Jones and an essay by Andrew Sullivan

20 August: general update; link to a poem by Connie Voisine

Glad to hear from you! I had you on my "journals" web browser set, but something happened and I haven't been there in a while...Sorry to hear you have been sick but good that you are getting better. What's with getting sick in the summer?
*HUGS* oh, and to the BYM as well

Coming to DC anytime soon?

Thanks, hon -- still not 100%, but definitely much better. And I hope you are feeling better as well!

No immediate plans to visit DC, but we'd like to get some more contracts from there, so sometime in the not-too-distant future, I hope (and preferably with some extra time to visit around!).

*lotsa hugs back atcha*
