I'm having coffee and pancakes at Keith Browning's house with him and Rick Ardinger. Rick heads Idaho Humanities and has set up the Almost Trashy tour.

Here are three sonnets from a new book, Almost Happy, to be published by Limberlost Press. I'll be touring with the Almost Trashy tour through Idaho and Utah during the next two weeks. With luck, we'll have some books bound by Thursday.

I started hanging a camera around my neck and videoing some of my fishing--for my granddaughter, grandson, and friends who can't be up here fishing for trout. I think I was the "first person" to do it. David Behr, my late Troutball friend wasn't impressed and said something like, "but the fish aren't big."

Check his work, songs, sketches and photos of himself looking like a perhaps even more ragged version of Neil Young: www.troutball.com. Thanks GK.
