Tired of the stories –
someone else
getting to know me
between my rush to be ready
and her arrival–
a space
a long look
at the winter stars . . .
someone else’s wife
“a long look” & “between my rush” – Some of the Silence (Red Moon,1999)

Electronic Frontier Foundation has a thoughtful update on its White Paper on
How to Blog Anonymously, discussing why anonymity need not in itself debase
the information in a piece of writing. (via beSpacific)
Pet Peeve: The EFF post suggests that information from a truly
anonymous and unknown person (with no context or
history) be taken “with a grain of salt.” That phrase often
seems inapt. Something taken with a grain of salt usually
tastes better than it otherwise would. When caution is
needed, I say “skip the salt; when in doubt, feed it first to your
neighbor’s annoying dog.”
a look at the state’s lawyer discipline system. (via LSF) I sure hope they
feed the MBA’s recent set of proposals to their neighbor’s watchdog before
swallowing it whole (see our post).
We might, however, have to activate the Analogy SWAT Team: comparing the desecration
of the haiku tradition with the use of split infinitives is totally (as you youngsters say) bogus.
By the way, MF, the rule against split infinitives has certainly been overturned.
