Have discovered that awards are very odd things from the surprise of discovering someone has tossed one your way to trying to figure out how to toss one to someone with a touch of grace and humor. Hope some of you discover a little something new.
Award came my way from Leigh Binder whose dark poetry rattles the dishwashers at coffee stains and cigarette burns, just how it is.
Passing it onto Skip DeKades satirist of Future Update, the Really Early Edition for his satirical surprises. Satire is tough stuff to write–and Skip makes it look easy. Enjoy.

When my partial geek cell returns from its vacation on Hidden Beach in California I promise to play with the shortlinks and catch up with the rest of blogland.
Oh–I’m supposed to list seven things about myself that are news–and interesting–to folks. Hidden Beach is a beautiful beach I’ve had the pleasure to discover and have all to myself –until The tireless, gleeful Dog arrived and play became work!
I like to eat anchovies straight out of their little tin cans.
I really really ticked off an Amtrack Conductor by laughing out loud at 4 am when she announced that the train was now only 6 hours behind schedule. She threateningly addressed me as “YOU!” for the next two days.
Can’t seem to stop myself from chatting with whoever is foolish enough to sit next to me at old diner counters. Bad habit.
One night I shared a very tiny room with seven other people in an OLD hotel run by an ex-circus performer in Athens, Greece. We needed ALL the floorspace for sleeping.
Never, never, offer me a bag of tootsie rolls. If I start eating tootsie rolls, I can’t stop until every last one is GONE.
I’ve driven hwy 101 in the dark at speeds in excess of 90 mph without taking a dive into the Pacific. What dumb luck was that?
