Getting more writing time today because pushed to get radio work done sooner . . . updated radio page . . . Cenacle 122 kicks up work this weekend as new poem finishes today . . . payjob I am trying to modulate down how much it mattered & affected me up till late autumn, in terms of how I thought I was valued . . . I am valued by co-workers, which is always good, but above that, eh . . . I carry that eh with me . . . weirdly aids my balance there . . .

Oh, yes, The ElectroLounge is 25 years ago this month! Just realized that, while doublechecking the index page, haha! It was 4/2/1998 when I got this site going . . . from an ad on TV . . . I wrote in the first entry, that date: "This site is mine and that makes all the difference in the world." I think of it as mine shared with many others, & this is the truest difference . . . here's too many years more of this!
