Poetry Friday

SUMMER HOLIDAY

When the sun shouts and people abound One thinks there were the ages of stone and the age of      bronze And the iron age; iron the unstable metal; Steel made of iron, unstable as his mother; the      towered-up cities Will be stains of rust on mounds of plaster. Roots will not [...]

WARM SUMMER SUN

Warm summer sun,      Shine kindly here, Warm southern wind,      Blow softly here. Green sod above,      Lie light, lie light. Good night, dear heart,      Good night, good night.

  — Mark Twain (1835 – 1910), American author, poet, and humorist.

SPONTANEOUS ME

Spontaneous me, Nature, The loving day, the mounting sun, the friend I am happy with, The arm of my friend hanging idly over my shoulder, The hill-side whiten’d with blossoms of the mountain ash, The same, late in autumn—the hues of red, yellow, drab, purple, and light and dark green, The rich coverlid [...]

Crust and dust

Interesting weekend, coming to a close … went out to dinner with a great friend on Thursday night for some yummy goodness at Squatters downtown, then a quiet day at work on Friday.

Saturday was supposed to be a ski day, but unfortunately, the tiny little headache I woke up with on turned into a [...]

COMING TO THE MORNING

You make me remember all of the elements the sea remembering all of its waves

in each of the waves there was always a sky made of water and an eye that looked once

there was the shape of one mountain and a blood kinship with rain

and the air for [...]

Solitude Day #5

I took today (Friday) off work … the weather has been so nice the past few days, and since I didn’t get a chance to ski last weekend due to digestive issues related to a change in diet (8 pounds lost so far!), I was going stir-crazy by Wednesday. Put in for a vacation day [...]

Choosing a cycling team

I don’t think I’m going to re-up with my current club/team for 2009.

The biggest reason is because I’m broke … I still haven’t worn the clothing I got for 2008; and what’s the point of spending that kind dough on clothes that likely aren’t going to get worn.

Another reason is because the team [...]

Poppin’ the DV cherry …

Oh my God, what an incredible freakin’ day today.

Pal Scotty and I went up to Park City to ski Deer Valley (my first time at any of the Park City resorts) … and I cannot believe how incredible a day it was.

The sky was blue, the sun was out, the temps were [...]
