Thanks, all you almanac folks.
And then, today Jack received notice that Broken Symmetry is a co-winner of the Society of Midland Authors Award for poetry for 2007. Jack’s blinking. This award covers work published in 12 states, and the past winners include Ted Kooser, Jim Harrison, Carl Phillips, Alice Fulton, and Richard Jones.

To think 34 years ago I walked into you “Little Help From My Friends” intro to writing class. Now your famous! We at least infamous.
