backstage, with such joy, could I
be this important?

Cold
January should
all be frightfully frigid
but seriously
Have not done of these in a while - but the cold of this morning's walk got me thinking!

Haikus from the Hall of Fame Trip (part 2)
Near Marblehead
Near here, you once said
the llama took our bucket
a glorious day
(One of Christopher's best verbal days as a young child)
Black flies, damn black flies
you took a hot, humid day
and made it much worse
(nuff said)
Almost an island
off Pennsylvania's small reach
into the Great Lakes
(from Erie, PA)
A beautiful view
towards the radiant sunset
on peaceful Erie
(lovely sunset tonight)
Seven Ohio
lighthouses today, but missed
Poor Ashtabula
(Oh well...maybe next trip!)

Haiku's from Seattle
I am going to add all the Haiku's that I put on Postcards that I sent home to the boys. I decided that it would make the postcards more enjoyable for the kids.
The Pike Street Market
You find produce, fish flying
and the first Starbucks

Haiku for Today (Bobby Murcer)
Bobby Murcer was
followed Mantle as the star,
but was just himself
Born May 20, 1946 in Oklahoma City, OK
Died July 12, 2008
He had the unfortunate job of following Mickey Mantle as the star of the Yankees (who followed Dimaggio, Gehrig and Ruth).
He had a great career and was (by all accounts) a great person. Just being himself.

Haiku for Today (MeLCat)
Colder than normal
When no students are about
Better use MeLCat
Was going to walk to Borders to get a travel book to Michigan's Thumb (Lake Huron). But it was too cold, so I turned back and ordered it on MeLCat. In a few days...I should get the book!

Haiku for Today (Harbour Lights)
ebayed Harbour Lights
Suddenly within my reach
so very tempting
So Nancy Fleck (from Michigan State), started me on this horrible path. She gave me my first Harbour Lights collectible just this past month to thank me for my service as IUG Past Chair. It was the Old Presque Ilse Light in Michigan.
Since returning, I have purchased three more...ugh! I've fallen and I can't get up!
