According to google conversion, just shy of 4 kilos but well ahead of awesome.

I've had a coffee but I may just have another one.

Back in the old place, I posted a short story in the workshop about a dog's arrival into the lives of a retired couple. Fictional, but based on a couple of things that are possibly close enough to reality to be discomforting. It ended with this line: He’s worked me out, though, throwing...

Ok, after a pretty crazy week, calm is restored through 8lbs and 13oz of the chillest bundle I've come across in a long time. My daughter and her daughter are doing great. I'm a grandfather and so looking forward to the next chapter.

People are fascinating. Sometimes recording as is, without authorial embellishment, is enough. I was once waiting in line at a shop in Limerick's city centre. Ahead of me, a woman was putting stuff through the self-checkout when she was approached by a security man who told her she was not...

The trouble with that sentence is the need to read it a second, maybe third, time to work out what it means. I know I've mentioned it before, but Solar Bones, a novel by Mike McCormack, is written as an unending single sentence. It's done so deliberately to communicate a certain something...

We had three consecutive days of beautiful weather that almost had me believing in Spring. More overcast today, there's rain up there, but still better than the weeks of incessant rain at the start of this year.

I will, as soon as they clarify that bull riding should not be confused with sheep shagging. I have an interview from Youtube going on as I write this, J.B. Mauney retired bull rider. Never heard of him until 5 minutes ago. He hasn't mentioned zen, but everything he's saying is pretty zen. I...

I recall hearing a former Irish hooker speaking genuinely about the "art" of playing front row rugby. I don't necessarily agree that it's an art form, but not enough to castigate his opinion. More people express their true selves through kicking a football than writing verse. Talk to anyone...

Sooo... It's ok to talk about the Muse or the Mysticism or the Magic so long as there's product at the end and the witer doesn't cite any of those things as implicated in their lack of success. It's the writers who cite these things within a complaint for their lack of success that causes such...

I wish this thread would stop eliminating all my excuses. I also think there's so much more to a fart than tonal sequencing. There's a lot that goes into producing something artistically creative. Talent features. All that hard work and graft needs something to sprout out of. Where does talent...

I'm sure others here are signed up for Only Poems newsletter. They send some real diamonds by email every day. Meeting Again After Decades by James Richardson landed today and ends with this final sentiment. Exquisite: Where we want to be is exactly where we are, but there's no way to get there...

I don't know Chuck E. Cheese. I'm guessing I should be thankful for my ignorance. Chuck E. Weiss, on the other hand, ain't no hep cats any more...

Damn. I might sign up. Or borrow my wife's account. Maybe both. Reconsidering life choices is hard.

Do I need to be on Facebook to get into the WF Facebook account?
