Bio
I don't know? We are what we eat. Teachers of wisdom teach the diversity of food plants have sustained humankind since we moved from the tooth and claw of the hunter-gatherer to the sooth and law of agriculture. This is the basis of all human life. We are what we eat. This is my 60th birthday party. The cut/paste photo cropped my mop of hair. I look like I had a thimble of honey wine? This is okay for a first try ... test.

Let's enjoy this day . . .
I like your comment. The ironies of life. Enjoy your day, too.
Your comment here is even more compelling than the post! Loved the Arbor Day twins' names--Fern and Magnolia. Enjoy this glorious day. I will, too because my son came to see me for my birthday and told me that he is eager to return home at the end of his school's term.
I truly hope that when this is all said and done, Art, we won't discover that all along YOU have been Kerry! Worse deceptions have been engineered, you know.
I always wished I'd been named for a flower. :-)
I too wish I could stay where it's safe for me until the flowers bloom. Maybe some day I'll get to live in the country again but for today I'm going to enjoy this day God gave us. Thank you for reminding me.

1554 Black Ale Brew
New Belgium Brews
Ft. Collins, CO Brew

1554 Black Ale Brew is an 'Enlightened Black Ale Beer. The Brewers traveled to a Belgium Library and discovered an old crumbled boob (typo) book. It was a script.
Gulpers overcame obstacles.
The obsolete scroll was read.
Surprise Surprise Surprise
Brewers measured twice
Measure twice & burp
Burp post pass wind

I was sure sad this morning.
I remembered some suicides.
I know a woman who do suffer.
Sometimes we learn from sad.
I'm thinking of my wed vows.
She was an orphan at twelve.

I'll be outdoor today. Thanks.
Everybody enjoys feedback.

Art ,

Funny comment meant to be the post. I must memorize a couple of them at least.

I hope the waitress at the IHOP doesn't have just one leg.
Outside our little room, my friends, the hurricane winds are blowing, but here with Art James, haiku float by like gossamer butterflies!
You always leave me thoughtful :)
Arthur, you are sending out fine pithy movie ideas.
Example:
New York City bar . . .
three sots watching on TV
'The Lost Weekend'

explaining to Pa Pa
that Maypole dancing
is not dirty


……………………………………………..
Put papa in that nyc bar. Then u got a film.
Nothing is more unfortunate than alcoholics
who have not shed conventional morality …
who teach vibrant teenage sons yearning for parental guidance
that the laws of the road are set in stone & that the maypole
is a pagan left-over from superstitious days of old…

The father drinks to forget.
The son yearns to remember one thing, anything, from his childhood,
as he is submerged in the adult world without his father’s guidance.
He goes out in his car and breaks traffic rules.
This is not a life for an upstanding young man.

Father will show up at police station to bail out son for ignoring 12 traffic lights.
They will begin a journey of self discovery!?
This a movie!
Enjoy this day, as you said. There is no guarantee for tomorrow. :) party.
I just love reading your stuff..makes my mind swirl around like I took a shot of Jack Daniels. :) Have a lovely day, sir.
Thinking of you, Art, as I read your words. Sometimes we learn from sad ... if we can allow our sad ... to walk with us ... to be ...
How often, Art ... we learn ... from you ...
I just had to RELAUNCH `gin.

I thank you for the feedback . . .
`
focus . . .
`
I followed blogger `V. Corso
I saw a pretty pepper photo
Then inside a cubicle @ Salon
or
NYC's Bellevue Nut (bad) ward

Maybe . . .

?

he's a hypocrite

After I Relaunched
I RELAUNCHED again.
I was reading Frank Aspia (sp)
a comment ref: Reconciliation.
The -
The swirling colored ball . . .
Then -
I was 'booted' So- I Relaunched.
`
to editor . . .
`
my therapist thinks . . .
Ref: Your nasty mien . . .
`
the ne're-do-well
calling others some
the monsignor, 'Dawg'
`
asking at dinner
why Kerry (editor) is wearing
stinky bib overalls
`
glad to hear that u are in therapy.
hope to God it is not an attractive young lady therapist.
i had a few of them, but lied assiduously. They had such kind eyes,
i wondered why they would be interested in the
mental health of a gadfly ne'er do well
like me. On the walls of their offices
were floral prints and art exhibit
posters, like i dunno,
paris! 1936 exhibition!


i wish i was back in therapy again.
too much to tell them, tho, my road ...i cannot fit it
precisely enough into sound-bites ...the desperation, the
destruction, the decay, all around...i might cry...
but...then i might let on that i like to write!
she would say, 'lemme see some of that!'
i would substitute Art James' work
for my own, haw! she would say,
"buddy, you kinda an ee cummings on lsd
character in yer poetry, eh?"

i would say oh my yes.

..........................
no no more therapy.
enough is enough.
too set in my ways and means.
Deluty gonna have to do for me.

this is what happened to me once:
"trying to impress
his dinner date, ordering
in French a whore"...
woops...
