So I'll do a little shameless self-promotion. If you are on Facebook, this blog now has its own fan page. Some of you have already become fans, and thank you. But if you haven't, there is a widget on the bottom of this page (scroll ALL the way down) to become a fan right from here. I'll update every day after I post the new blog so you don't have to check yourself. My Facebook fan page also has a message thread I started called "suggestion box." Please drop by and let me know what you'd like to see in future posts, or as future regular features, or as future poetry challenges.
I have also (shudder) joined twitter, as @minervadamama. Feel free to become my follower there; I will also post a link to each day's blog there. So, yeah.
