Greetings...again. After a long time away from the blog and most writing (other than comments on student pages), I'm back and hoping to focus on developing the craft and shaping the form.

Two-Fer Ya Greedy SOBs
A man once said, "You're real entertaining."
I replied, "I do what I can, you know. I try. I do."
He said, "No, by 'entertaining," I'm using a specialized term. It equates to sanity and consciousness and interest in the world, a sense of measure, a sense of humor, and some vision backed by experience. Most people are not entertaining."
I took this to mean that he thought I was a jackass, and some times, I was enough of a jackass to be amusing.
So I said, "You're welcome. Send me a check in the mail."
