This was my third poetry reading. Did four poems. One I had written some time back for my middle daughter about her art. This piece is titled Releasing the Soul. I also did Just Writing, The Reading /em> (about my first poetry reading) and The Grip (which is relatively new).
There were only three readers this time. I did think the quality of the work presented was good. I hope the smaller group was just a result of vacation time alnd all.
today...
Barry to vets for shots. Looked at cars. I need to do some writing and reading this evening.
Meghan will be coming home on Friday. Have really missed her and will be so damn glad to see her. I hope I can take a little time off to spend with her. Work has been pretty demanding lately... I'll have to see what I can do.

Friday Follies...
Hoping for a good day. You have to start that way don't you?
Last night I did some rewrite work on a poem. I'm doing a reading tonight. Don't know yet if this poem will me included. Actually haven't selected material for certain yet. Not worried though. I have pleanty to choose from.
Yesterday's work at the office was very productive. Hectic, but I got everything planned finished. Today should be busy but not overbearing.
Still looking for a new car. Glad I don't have to do this often.

Summit Scribes
Last night I joined the "Summit Scribes Writers Group".The group meets relatively close to where I live and the active members represent a wide range of genre, which I believe is good in my case. They meet monthly, and this group is undergoing some changes - moving away from an emphesis on speakers to more of a direct focus on writing and critique. First meeting was worthwhile.
Friday, I plan to do the B & N poetry reading. I need to spend some time selecting two or three pieces.
Took Barry to the vets today for update on immunizations. Weighed 2 lbs 6 oz.
Went and looked at a couple of cars tonight. The Tracer has bitten the dust. Need to line up something new quickly [big sigh]
I think I'll check on the Giants game and go read for a while. No writing tonight.

Weekend Report
No, it wasn't the kind of weekend I had hoped for, but I survived.
We had an emergency vet trip with O.J. ( cat) and Friday evening started with a flat tire while on the way out for dinner. Needless to say, dinner out was scrapped.
There were good moments at home. And I did get both some writing and research done. Plus finished mowing the forest in the Back yard. I am afraind that somewhere along the line I may have overdone it and pulled something that I shouldn't have (related to surgary). I've got to decide if I need to call the doctor or not [sigh] still thinking.
I did get my glasses fixed. this is a good thing. They have been screwed up all last week and it was really frustrating.
I have a poetry reading on tap for Friday and a writing group meeting planned for tonight. Giants have been hot since the All-Star break sweeping Colorado four straight games. I was able to catch yesterdays game. Very good one.
Barry continues to consume a lot of time. But he's worth it.
Gotta get busy.... update later. I'm wiped out, but don't have the time to be wiped out [very big sigh]
