Jilly, not easy days - I’ve been in that boat myself - but your patch is just fabulous in the way of these things, & thanks for posting the picture up. Back when I thought I was going to end up with one, I even accosted a guy in a pub one time because he was wearing the most beautiful soft black leather eyepatch - but he said someone had made it for him. I’ve been thinking about you.

I’m about to email you separately about business.

I much appreciate your mention of my recent appointment as Poet Laureate of Wisconsin. The whole thing is only gradually sinking in– but it must have really happened, I guess, or you wouldn’t have said so on this blog. Many thanks!

Okay, two things caught my eye (oops) and caused me to comment:
1. The picture
2. Comments about lack of female poets

I doubt very seriously if you’ve heard anything about a new book entitled “Raising Black Flags: Original Poetry By and About Pirates.” If you want more info, let me know and I’ll provide it. It’s an anthology of poems all centered around piracy or life at sea and the majority of the poets are female. I don’t think any of them have cool eyepatches like yours though . . .

Love the new look for the blog, Jilly. Very spiffy. Thinking about you and hoping you’re not feeling too horrible.

Jilly, I don’t know what you’ve done with your RSS feed, but it works much better than the old one. That is, in my Google Reader your entries show up as a list, but to actually click the links I have to come to your site; in the old feed I would just click on the links and go directly to their URLs. As a result I missed, for example, your amazing site upgrade (I’m jealous) and who knows what all. Anyway, just wanted you to know that I’ve been a loyal reader who never visits, but now I’ll be dropping by most days.

Thanks for all the good work.

You take care too, Jilly, and have good turkey days.

And I also really like the new design for the blog.
