The times they are a-changin’.

The former Roanoke Times building is now the administration offices for Roanoke City Public Schools.

It feels so weird to me — maybe because the building was one of the first landmarks I remember seeing when I first came to Roanoke.

I am absolutely honored today to see three of my poems published in Issue 26 of Impspired in the United Kingdom.  The three poems are “At the Coffee Shop,” “Autumn Girl” and “A Poet’s Short Note to His Muse.”

You can find all three poems right here.  The print edition will be released at the end of January.

Thanks once again to Editor Steve Cawte for allowing me to see my work appear in such an outstanding independent literature magazine!

Somewhere in or around Hollins. One of the things you see looking south is the Roanoke — Blacksburg Regional Airport.

Look for a surprise appearance by Mr. Turkey Vulture!

Old people thoughts I totally had today:

“This McDonald’s is exceptionally clean. The staff should be commended.”

“Home wasn’t a set house, or a single town on a map.”

“Home wasn’t a set house, or a single town on a map. It was wherever the people who loved you were, whenever you were together. Not a place, but a moment, and then another, building on each other like bricks to create a solid shelter that you take with you for your entire life, wherever you may go.”

— Sarah Dessen

(This quote was found on the Ravenous Butterflies Facebook page.)

Hello, Mr. Heron.

I finally got a shot of the heron that hangs out around the beaver dam (?) down at the Roanoke River.
