Women's History Month




Just a little reminder of what sort of nonsense women have had to go through to gain the rights of human beings. Of course, I like how suffrage would "double the irresponsible vote." Think about it.

The struggle goes on throughout the world today.

In other news, the strongest woman I know, my wife, will be giving a reading next Sunday, April 5, at the Newtown Library. Copies of her book, Potato Eaters, will be available and refreshments will be served. See you there!

French Fare in Bridgeport

Once in a while I'd like to include a place that I have found in my travels that I really love. Here's one:



The Escargots Bourguignonne were full of garlic-butter goodness, the cheese and charcuterie plates are divine, and the steak au poivre is no slouch either. I couldn't even make it to their mouth-watering desserts...

211 State Street, Bridgeport, Connecticut. Be there.

Umbrella

Check out my new book review at the popular internet journal Umbrella.

Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?

That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

- A.E. Housman
