I had a disappointing day on Monday, & it hung with me yesterday, & yet I pushed forward to update this site for the new Cenacle, & this morning felt like more needed to be done, so have added to the home page links to my Dream Raps pieces, and also to my letters to Barack Obama . . . this combined with the Bags End-Creature Common link, plus adding new publications, just makes me feel good, pointing rightly again . . . this site is a good one, and I want it to be better . . . I want every project on it to be updated from time to time, and the whole site expanded over time . . . it can be like this, no reason not . . . so better today . . .

radio page is updated for tonight's show, lovely . . . twas 1981, on a Saturday night, like tonight, that JDL raised my hopes only to break my heart later . . . & I continued to become what I am now, in good and regrettable ways . . . still, a part of me sits with her on that bed in her bedroom, long ago & far away, & listens to her speculate on romance with me . . . my first chance, it didn't work out, but it was my first . . . it had never happened before . . . it was such a little thing, & yet, & yet, & yet . . .

here's more to say than just "updated radio page" . . . twas 12 years ago this weekend that my show jumped online, thanks to SpiritPlants Radio . . . then 7 years ago this weekend, having no choice, I took over the station & started building it into what it is now . . . a labor of love & Art for many . . . thank you to all who have joined in, & make this station more than my show & a lot dead air . . . 24/7, as it should be . . . like The Cenacle 94 that just got mailed this week, & thus finished, my work is at the core of why I do the projects I do, but not alone . . . it's much better to work alongside peers . . . & since I am good at running things, & editorial work, Scriptor Press & SpiritPlants Radio fit me nicely . . . anyway, 12 years of my show on SPRadio, & 7 years me doing the heavy lifting to keep it all going . . . now time to get to deep hours of my black pen & paper :)
