DC Comics.  Canadian edition.

I got those photos I ordered.

Here’s the interesting thing … the postal service’s new postmark design looks remarkably like the footprint of a very large man.

Hey, the sticker on the front says “Do not bend” — not “Do not stomp on.”

I am so honored today to share that Spillwords Press published a recent poem of mine — “The Rough, Violet Stone.”  You can find it right here.

Thanks once again to Director of Development Dagmara K. for allowing me to see my work showcased by such an exceptional online magazine!

“Tonight, Love, Now, Let’s Go”

Let’s make for Maine
tonight, Love, now, let’s go, let’s just go
north for that ménage à trois —
where water licks us,
where salt air kisses us,
where waves draw warm arms over us,
where rhythmic tide will move, move, move us,
just we intimate three —
you, me and the sea.

Please consider donating to CALM to honor Sean L. Macro.

Please consider donating to a truly worthwhile organization in memory of a sublimely good soul who left us too soon.

The family of Sean L. Macro has organized a donation page for CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) in the United Kingdom. It looks like a wonderful charity dedicated to suicide prevention. Sean was the kind of young man who would be the first to support someone else — I can’t think of a better way to honor him.

You can make a contribution right here:

You know it’s a great April Fool’s day when you successfully persuade someone there’s a bear in your home.

Life is good, and I AM A COMPLETE BASTARD.

I also got a few friends with a story about Gerard Butler shooting a movie in downtown Roanoke. (Though plenty of people clued to the gag pretty quickly too.)
