In my last blog, I made a mistake with the location of the August 18th poetry reading. It's at Shades of Green which is also on East 15 Street near Irving Place. I hope some of you will be in the mood. It's a Monday night, very affordable for most, hosted by a very welcoming woman named Su Polo who is also a fine artist. She's run the Saturn Series Poetry Reading for over 20 years! Partners changed; locations changed; Su Polo remains. There's an open mic portion of the evening which is typically beautifully varied. I will be one of two featured poets.
Summer is practically here. I've been trying to tone up. I really can't wait until varicose veins are in style. I'll be a big hit on the beach. I can hear it now. "Look at the veins on that one. Woohoo!"
I've too far to go to reach what is known as beach ready. I am beach ready in that I get a restoration from being by the water. I love the soft sand and how strong it is in supporting my weight. I love how it yields when I plant myself. If I only had endless crumbs to feed the birds, it would be perfect for all of us at the shore.
I love sand too.
