Rain In The Afternoon is ready to print! It has a gray cloth hard cover and a beautiful dust jacket. Just wait till you see it.
The sun has emerged and the snow has begun to melt. It's MARCH:
Another March, ambivalent,
Winter, summer, sun or wind,
Rain or snow.
Just six of one
Or of the other,
Never really warming, never freezing cold,
Like the Marches of our lives,
Never merely child nor fully grown.
Life's so easy in October
When we know what's coming next.

What a Wnter Olympics
I was held in awe as I watched the final game. One was impressed, I think that the Cannadien were a slightly better team. Still I pulled for the American guys to come through. But alas, it's their game. They invented it--well, actually, it was Brittish sailors stranded for the winter in Nova Scota that invented it and played with a ball rather than a puck. The college kids in Montreal took up the game, and gradually a puck replaced the ball. It was a while before professionals took over the game that today we share with our friends to the north.
And aren't they friends! I'm so fond of them. They're honest, trustworthy and peaceful. They are also very good at winter sports--14 gold medals--the most gold for the games. Good for them.
Our folks did very well too, a source of pride, a good feeling. There's still something about the Star Spangled Banner that sends me. Makes me forget the cabbage heads in Washington for whom the Insurance industry money is more important than the people who are going to suffer and die for lack of health coverage. They're mostly poor, they don't vote for them. Who the hell cares! There's trial lawyers' money too, but nobody's going to die on account of it.
Republicans say that we have the best healthcare in the world--out of touch, maybe--we are number 37 just ahead of CUBA and just behind Costa Rica. Our system costs the most, but it's the results that count. At least the GOP has given up tax cuts for the unemployed as a solution to healthcare.
Rain In The Afternoon is getting a dust cover as we speak.
