Vorrei e non vorrei
Woke up to rain after a long semi-somnolent bout of inner debate about a ride I wanted/not wanted to take along the very route that M and I walked last evening.
But up the Cedar river to Flaming geyser park and on through Auburn to the Green river trail is a 60 mile jaunt.
So the rain washed away the guilt and I don't have to do that
Now that summer (sic) is over, the nice weather should kick in for a couple of months.
I may ride today anyway, just to work off the nervousness of the upcoming show.
But then again, see the Mozart quote above.
I think I'll probably try again and again to link to Magpie, but it still won't work.
I think I'll drink more coffee, but that won't work either.
I think I'll put coats of lacquer nos 3 and 4 on the ukulele. That might work.
I think I'll spend too much time fooling around in Duke land.
All about Duke land
But, one never knows, does one?

Friend Bud Marsh and I took his
Toyota Tundra yesterday and
drove up past Chrystal Mt.
on 410, bopped down 123
on Cayuse pass, to 12 up White
Pass, and then drove around
on some forest service roads.
It quit raining the moment we
were nearer Eastern WA. We
were hunting for good ridges
and forests to do some
Sasquatch hunting, but
realistically were just enjoying
the scenary at 4,000 feet,
and did see 5 elk. We intersected
410 gain on Chinook Pass,
and cruised home to the rain
and our spouses. Great day
for two old retired farts.
Cold chicken tastes very good
in an aspen grove high up on
a mountain plateau.
Yes, your concert will be
here soon, and those jangled
nerves can settle down. How
much time do your compositions
get? David is playing music from
his two other students too, right?
Ironic for me that I watered my
lawn well on Monday, not trusting
the (sic) forecast. Melva's tomato
plants have not created much
fruit this summer, and she is
bummed out about it; a real
tomato lover, she eats them like
apples. Wasn't that nice that
Willow stopped by FFTR to
assist you in linking up to
Magpie? Hope it will happen
at some point. Your poetry
needs to be promulgated.
I was in a hurry yesterday
morning when I posted your
Duke Nukem stuff, and the
title got screwed up. I just
wanted to use yours:
AFTER, but the prompt came
on with LONG BUSYNESS
connected to it, some residue
from an old post I assume.
So you could relink to it
if you want the proper title
displayed. The new members
of the Producer's Committee
made their film choices for
October; ANIMAL KINGDOM,
STRICTLY BALLROOM, and
Robert Altman's SHORT CUTS.
I will do the write-ups and
promo on it today. Need to
slink off to Tacoma later this
afternoon and see GET LOW
with Robert Duvall, one of
picks for September for the
club. Then I need to write up
the invitation to attend our
screening of Fellini's 8 1/2
for this Friday, Sept 3, which
overlaps with your concert.
Ain't life grand? I contacted
one of the Honchos in the
South Sound that oversees
a lot of the Spoken Word
Poetry events, but again
the future ones conflict with
my TFC events. Come on
Universe, cut me a break.
Willow has linked you up
over on MAGPIE TALES.
You are #111 on the poet's
list; but it links back to
only the comments page
of he poetry posting.
Still kind of confusing.
"Vorrei e non vorrei."
"Partiam, ben mio, da qui."
Facile affinchè dicano
Duke Land is a fine place to be.
And I'm excited about Magpie Tales. It's time I checked out what all the fuss is about.
Je parles qu'anglais et un peu de francais.
Facile pour vous de dire
See, what joy it is to have several
magpies flocking around FFTL,
in appreciation of your poem.
After my first couple of poems,
which had strong responses,
my posting today of
BUTTERFLY BLUES is getting
nada responses, zip, back to
my baseline. Oh well, we write
because we have to, correct?
Not because we crave the
(sic) positive reinforcement
of outside voices. That's my
story, and I'm sticking to it.
Easy for you to say
Hallo, Lane!
The quote is not from Mozart, but from his librettist, Lorenzo da Ponte, a womanizing friar, who could well have been his own model for his Don Giovanni figure.
Tschüß,
Anonomann
