@DrMarkDoyle I remember being very eager to go to the White Horse Tavern in NY on one of my first visits to the city. I guess everyone who considered themselves a poet in the late 60s and early 70s made the pilgrimage.

The winning sand sculpture of 2019, Texas Sandfest, by Damon Langlois - perfect for these times, no?

@DrMarkDoyle Ha! Kate and Morgan didn't fess up to stuff like that until they were much older. Kudos on her honesty.

@DrMarkDoyle You can buy teddy bears and Mar-a-Lago ornaments (?) at the Trump store. More crap the world does not need.

@DrMarkDoyle Wow, this is your third snow this winter, isn't it?

What a gorgeous cover. Can't wait for this one.

[Ellen Wittlinger @EllenWittlinger]

@DrMarkDoyle Totally forgot that aspect of it. Ew.

[Ellen Wittlinger @EllenWittlinger]

@DrMarkDoyle Woulda knocked out my career, but, oh well, being a librarian wasn't bad either.

[Ellen Wittlinger @EllenWittlinger]

@DrMarkDoyle Wish I could hear this.
