Finished. Maybe now to tackle the Lego Tai Majal. I fear it's a multi year project.

Been ages since I was in a cineplex, not an indie screening room. Fancy! Pleather reclining seats, wide seats, wide aisles, pivoting wooden table like elementary school. Gigantic drinks from concessions. Incredible sound. LIving room experience in public. Only thing not changed, the many trailers!

Awww...when a non-poetry person buys your poetry. At a mini hi-skool reunion, Joe told me he bought "An Illegal Feast" and reading a few poems at a time...Joe is a retired elementary school principal who can't stay retired, he's teaching immigrants to pass the citizenship test. TY & YAY, Joe!

High skool multi-year reunion!! I knew no one, no one knew me, until I saw the friendly face of Mark B, who was the Aztec sports editor! Then Camille, gurl was recruited by colleges to play volleyball. Della too on that team. Robin on the drill team, Missy & Hugo, both student council. What a night!

First friendly face. Mark was sports editor of the Aztec, the skool newpaper. Turns out he's got his own PR firm, also he's the inventor of a sustainable water clock...and a checkbook calculator. Right on Mark!

Camille lives in Hawaii now...set decorator for the the recent Lilo & Stitch . She was such a mighty varsity volleyball spider, so athletic and vocal advocate for equal sports coverage. Mark admits he didn't cover women's sports adequately.

I recognized Robin's smile. She was on flag and drill team...a popular girl...she had a handsome brother too! And she tells me she came to my house for a sleepover once. I knew her from junior high school, always running for classl treasurer...bo wonder she went into accounting and business!!

Missy...popular and was our class vice president...and she helped to organize this reunion ..of course she did...amazing Missy.

Homegoing. RIP Cousin Sookie. Go e too soon, gurl. Wish I'd known you better, but fathers side of family a perpetual mystery. Flight of angels sing you to your rest.
