This past Sunday (Sept. 26, 2004), the New York Times “weddings” page featured three
haiku that recently appeared on this website. More importantly for friends of Roberta Beary and Frank Stella,
the Times article told the story of their courtship and resulting wedding on September 18th.
In our guest poet archive, you can find links to postings that feature Roberta, a lawyer-poet who works in
D.C. Many of her haiku reflect a journey from divorce through nurturing a new trust upon which to build a new marriage. Congratulations and best wishes to Roberta and Frank (you lucky guy!).

much we need another bland, meaningless acronym. Surely, it represents the pulsing
creativity and integrity of panoply of ALM publications and services. Check here for
other meanings of the ALM acronym (I like “a la mode” and “application Loadable Module”).
Dear Political Fundraisers of All Stripes: Please read Prof. Bainbridge‘s online missive (Sept. 29) to the National Republican Senatorial Committee and draw the proper conclusions and analogies to your own tactics. Also, stop trying to fool me with addressing script that looks like handwriting, and offering me credit cards from companies famous for ripping off folks who have poor credit. ‘Nough said (I wish).
