On the writing front, I am happy to report that I am still running daily with the Muse--- My 334th day of writing a poem a day at Dave Bonta's Via Negativa site.

I hope you can find some time to visit, and read through the poems in the series, which are archived by season (Morning Porch Poems Winter 2010-11, Spring 2011, Summer 2011, and Autumn 2011).
