When there's nothing particularly interesting to write about... it's always a good bet to post a picture... and a pet picture at that! This is Thib laying around on the desk watching me work on the computer. Teela is sitting in the baby changer in the back there looking grumpy since Thib has center stage. Molly is probably asleep on my bed and Rose out running around in the yard... Not an earth shattering journal entry, but sometimes this is a good thing. I'm slightly "bugged" (least offensive word I can think of) with some of the seemingly scams that go on the Internet. Not that I'm surprised, just "bugged". I occasionally write a bit of free verse and once when a poetry contest came up on my email, I checked it out and thought, what the h---, I'll just post one of my poems. It's one currently posted on my free verse site, "Are their beasties here?" under the page Reflections on a Silent Retreat. Well, they start sending me all this mail telling me my poem was picked for this and that... and it's going to be published in a book of poetry which I can buy for $$$$. By this time, I'm saying, "...uh huh???" But decide why not. At least I'll have this poetry book with my poem in it for posterity. Well, it came yesterday and from the looks of it, I would guess that they publish everyone's poems and without much selectivity. Lesson learned. I will hide this book away in the library and consider it a tribute to Internet Ingenuity on someone's part. It's late. Here's hoping for a good weekend for everyone... Rian |
