Lothlorien Poetry Journal publishes my poem “Confession” and two of my haiku.

Leave a comment

I’m honored today to see Lothlorien Poetry Journal publish three of my poems.  The first is “Confession,” and the latter two are haiku.

You can find all three right here.

Lothlorien Poetry Journal is a truly superlative independent literature magazine, at which I am always proud to see  my work accepted.  Thanks once again to Editor Strider Marcus Jones for allowing me to be a part of this community.

And, hey — Lothlorien even ran one of my favorite paintings to accompany the poems!  It’s Caspar David Friedrich’s “Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog.”  I’m not sure if the editor knew that (I’ve posted it on Facebook), or if it’s just serendipity.

“Black Mirror” makes me feel dead inside.

I’m joking, of course. (I was already dead inside!) 😀 But, seriously, Season 7, Episode 1 was some heartrending stuff.

This show could give “The Last Of Us” a run for its money and there’s not a fungal-brain zombie in sight.

I actually learned *THREE* new words recently, including the one in the meme.

The second word was “diaspora” and the third was … I forgot.  Which admittedly is not a good sign.

I’m honored today to see The Galway Review publish another poem of mine — this time “Smiling Among Inert Shipwrecks.” 

The Galway Review is the city’s leading literary magazine, and a wonderful cultural resource for Ireland and the world.  As always, I am grateful to the journal’s editorial staff for allowing my work to appear in such a distinguished periodical.

No, I can not hold a phone or camera steady.  It will never happen.

The heavily accented guy at the bodega cheerfully informs me that “NEW CEREAL SHIPMENT COMES *TOMORROW,* SIR!”

So evidently they know me as “that cereal guy.” Not sure how I feel about that.

[Update — now all my Facebook friends are cracking the various requisite “serial” jokes.  I should have seen that coming.]

MWC Alum Russell Morgan was on television in Southwest Virginia!

Leave a comment

Hey Mary Washington College folks, your distinguished thespian alumnus Russell Morgan was featured on WDBJ7 here in Southwest Virginia!   The television station did a segment on David Walton’s excellent stage dramedy, “Closing Arguments,” in which Russ had a starring role.

Let me tell you something — the dude was damned funny too.  I guess the old MWC theater department taught him well!

I am now an organ donor.

Or … I will be, after I die.  That is how it works, right?

And you should be one too!  It’s easy if you live in a state like Virginia.  You just check off a box when you apply for (or renew) your driver’s license.

Or, you can find out how to register right here with the Department of Health and Human Services.
