There's an unnamed body of water on the divide near Silverton, CO, where Tricia and I scattered the ashes from five of our dogs. We call it Spirit Lake. Someday, we will join our dear companions.

FASCISM STINKS! Can’t find a trash can for your bag of dog poo? Why, there’s a doormat at your local Chickenshit Fascist Republican (CFR) office that needs a malodorous cachet. If you have a sticky note handy, you can make your message clear: FASCISM STINKS! Apply variously.

Tricia and I will be in the conservatory, an indoor/outdoor venue, at The York Apartments, 1781 York St., Denver, from 6-8 PM on Wednesday, 18 June. A series of catastrophes prevented me from promoting the novel properly when it launched in the fall of 2023, so this is a redo.

Hoppy June. Please pardon the cheesy shot, but I'll hit 70 this month and need a moment of triumph. The bone marrow (stem cell) transplant was a major reset. This poet, looking at 70, feels great. (Apologies to Jimmy Buffett.) I'll try to get more sun. Liff lonk und prosper.

Happy Earth Day. About a hundred years ago, in college, I directed my geological interest toward geothermal energy. The energy crisis had settled in, and it seemed a good way to make a difference in the world.

Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman is a national treasure. I've been reading him for 40 years, I think.

Okay, MAGA, you think progressives are weak? We are the US Navy after Pearl Harbor. Here comes Midway. The fascists surrendered unconditionally.

I've been thinking about Jesse Colin Young a lot since he died last month. In the summer of 1974, he and the Beach Boys opened for CSNY. Sharon Fitzgerald and I caught them at Mile High Stadium. Jesse practically stole the show -- from CSNY and the Beach Boys, forgodsake! A great loss.

Zephyr, who died in 2008, just visited my dream. As a pup, he was Pinky Pinkerton for the shading of his belly and nose. Lots of fun, but ornery as heck.

In the dream, he waited politely at the threshold as if he needed permission to enter. But he was as playful and affectionate as ever.
