An “Ozark” Season 4 prediction — Ben there, done that.

Leave a comment

l think that I can predict what will help finally bring down “Ozark’s” Wendy Byrde (the priceless Laura Linney).  Then again, I am almost invariably wrong in my predictions for TV shows, so maybe you should take this with a grain of salt.  Either way, various Seasons 3 and 4 SPOILERS after the jump below  …

Lampposts keeping warm.

Leave a comment

South Jefferson Street, Roanoke, Virginia.

I could be mistaken, but I believe that the hats and scarves tied to lampposts and benches have been placed there for needy people to take.  I’ve read about this in other parts of the country — I had no idea that people did this in Roanoke.   There are some good, kind souls in my quiet, little city.

IDEAL BUILDING SUPPLY.

I arrived here in error; I was actually looking for Merely Adequate Building Supply.

Brandon Avenue SW.  (If you’re actually looking for this company, they’re now located elsewhere in the city … I just have a thing about antiquated building signs.)

Dead Letter Radio features “Imagine the Moon as Companion”

Leave a comment

I’m truly honored today to hear another of my poems read by Taize Jones on Dead Letter Radio.  This time out, Taize employed his vocal talents to interpret “Imagine the Moon as Companion” on Episode 41 of the program.  You can find it right here — my piece begins right at the seven-minute mark.

You can also find the episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Listen Notes.

Dead Letter Radio remains a unique online venue for writers and listeners — its tone and atmosphere are less like those of a podcast and more like sitting down, relaxing and reading aloud with a few good friends.  For me, it’s one of the best things on the net.

If you find yourself feverishly writing elegiac couplets, get yourself tested for Ovid-19.

It’s a new moon …

Leave a comment

A friend of mine here in Roanoke gave me this awesome illuminated moon for Christmas.  (I’d actually seen these around, and really, really wanted one.)  He might have picked up on my weird preoccupation with the moon.
