Also, over the summer a co-worker told me that The New York Times pays its copy editors very well, something like $50 an hour.

Caveat:
I don't like to name-check my credentials. But if talked down to, I will. I have a fairly intact self-preservation instinct, even as I hate self-promotion.

minou--

Thank you for the update. I was just about to send the St. Bernard with a keg of brandy around his neck.

Hey guys
It's Saturday morning. I lived. The furnace people are on their way.
Yay!

haha. i wanted to tell you that i am at this moment in time eating cookies with CANDY CORN on top. they are orange with a dollop of chocolate and then a piece of candy corn on top.
OHMYGOD so good.
wish i could send one your way!

xoxo skinny :)

If any of you try to justify bad poetry to me in a hostile, derisive, or defensive manner, you take your limp little lives in your own hands. Got it Bukowski fan-boyz?

mein gott. could anything be more perfect? could you be any more perfect for choosing it and sending to me? i think it is proof of understanding betwixt you and i. thank you again. your poetry knowledge has once again beaten my cold dead heart into submission. you are, as chien once said to me, a gift.
i am having a hard time. and you have made it easier. with words. oh, sweet words, how i love them! thank you, dear one :)

Where in the world have you been?

Hi! Poetry! Michigan! Let's talk more about these things (but right now I am finally succumbing to Nyquil).

Thanks, dude. When Dismal brought it up I thought it might be another one we weren't aware of!

Minou. you have given me an awfully precious gift tonight. I am most definitely awestruck, in the truest sense of the word. Thanks again, from the bottom of my heart. cracked as it is/ but I think it only enhances the experience. :)
