Titles Annoy Me
You might think that a writer would be at ease with titles. Well, mostly I am, but that is in my writing. On this blog I try to be conversational. Frequently this means that I may skip about a bit. Miscellany just doesn't quite make catchy.
I will try to input a poem most times. After all that is what I do. Summer did start and as promised it brought temps in the 110 to 120 range. This makes early morning a friend and air conditioning a cherished companion.
The house just got painted and now looks sparkly and nice on the outside. The inside is still cluttered since I would rather write than do housekeeping.
Dog park is now an early morning jaunt. Linus is now bigger than Juliette. He is a 7 mo pup that weighs 63 pounds.
Not much else to prattle about so here is a poem.

obsolescence guaranteed right from the inception
round and round the circle going
