I'm not dead...yet

Has it really been almost a year since last I posted here? 

Remarkable.

I am still alive, just busy, distracted, off licking my wounds, etc etc etc...

All the standard excuses.

Yesterday was my father's 90th birthday.  My latest book of greatest hits

Selected Poems and Passions:  1996-2004

has been out for a couple of months.

Oh, yeah, I am doing a signing at the Barnes & Noble in Morgantown, West Virginia, tomorrow.

And, yes, I have been writing...more of that in my next entry.
