A<\/strong><\/em>long with big-wig executives of sports leagues and tv networks, they’ve invited Cor van den Heuvel to present a Roundtable, on June 26th, spotlighting the Baseball Haiku<\/em><\/a> <\/em><\/em><\/em>book (W.W. Norton 2007), which he co-edited. Ed Markowski and Al Pizzarelli will join Cor on stage, presenting their haiku and senryu from the book. Ed has promised to include a few new poems. HaikuEsq<\/em> will be in the audience and dagosan<\/em> might add his two cents. Prof. Yabut hopes to be sharing an ice cream soda with a cheerleader by then and might miss the Roundtable.<\/p>\n

This trip will be my first significant opportunity to adhere to the f\/k\/a<\/em> pledge<\/a> to observe the speed limit on all highways. Thank goodness for Cruise Control and audio books. [update<\/em><\/strong> (July 4, 2008): As I noted in the post “speed limit politics<\/a>:” With the help of the Cruise Control lever, I kept my promise to abide by the 65-mpg speed limit on the New York State Thruway last week, while traveling over 700 miles to and from the Chautauqua Institution. Yes, I was passed a lot. More important, I achieved my best fuel efficiency ever. In fact, for a 200-mile all-Thruway segment of the return trip, my 2000 Mazda Protege, which was rated<\/a> by the government at 30 mpg for highway travel, averaged over 35 miles per gallon.<\/p>\n
