Wow, this is weird. I wanted to write a new blog, but I guess I have to figure out how first. I always hate it when technology changes and leaves me in the figurative dust, but hey, I am an old man and that's what happens. First they get these newfangled boxes called televisions, next thing you know, we're all writing on these newfangled boxes called computers. I love the word newfangled.

I'm currently finishing up the school year with my students and my progeny. It's been a good year, albeit challenging. I had some health issues and was challenged by the MFA thang that I got going on, but it has been good otherwise. I gotta change the fish tank water and remember to put drops in my eye four times a day and my home is a load and I gotta write, a lot, and I gotta read, a lot, but hey, that's what I do anyway, right? I mean the reading and writing, not the fish and the eye stuff.

I'm excited about the summer, I mean, who wouldn't be, ya know, ten weeks off and all that jive. Gonna go West for three weeks and take my laptop so I can keep in touch and keep writing and keep doing my MFA stuff, but it should be fun seeing my family and my ancestral home and all that jive, you know? Gotta think up some new stuff to write about so I can keep up with the workshops and new stuff comes from new experiences and new people and new places and new feelings so I'm all in for that crap.

So, that's all I got for now and I will post this dreck and see what it looks like on the blogspot, whether it looks good or looks bad 'cause I only judge my writing on how it looks and not really on what it say because I'm 2 stoopid to actually read the crap I write, ya know?
