Sad to see the great Irish poet Michael Longley (1939-2025), died yesterday.
Far from the perimeter
Of watercress and berries,
In the middle of the field
I stand talking to myself,
While the ash keys scatter
And the gates creak open
And the barbed wire rusts
To hay-ropes strung with thorns.

I was filmed Feb 4-5, 2004, for some commentary segments. And while I haven’t received an official confirmation from the filmmakers, a friend who saw the final cut assured that I escaped the cutting room floor. I’m excited to see it. And I’m thrilled it exists.

Today in New Orleans was magical. We have our frustrating moments, but seeing the joy across the city was beautiful. Snowball fights. All of the incredible photos. FUN. I'm so grateful that fate dropped me here. I really did mean it when I said today felt like Mardi Gras. 🥹

Traces of Texas reader Scott Nix kindly shared this nice photo of the Pig Hip sandwich shop in Amarillo circa 1931. I love the slogan: They made their way by the way they're made. And they have hamburgers and chili, too. What more could a Texan ask for?
Thanks, Scott. Great photo!
