Yes, it's fun to feel like I'm "back in action" again! I'm amazed at how powerful these laptops are these days. I got one of the cheaper ones, but the screen is so bright and clear, and there's plenty of power to run all the software I need.

Good thing we're all so tech savy these days! ;-)

I'll probably drop by a lot less frequently, as most of my time and creative "brain juice" will be now getting used up writing software programs. That is one thing I've found interesting in my time in the Lair, that I enjoy writing pieces so well, but I never did before I came to the Lair.

And it occurred to me that writing software has a lot of the same characteristics as writing poems, especially for me, as all my poems tend to be balanced and structured, a lot like software. So I guess most of my "muse" energy will now go back to software.

However, when I do come by the Lair I'll try to always bring a new piece with me (be it ever so modest!).

I think as a personal project I'll start working on something for the big 4 year anniversary of the Lair coming up next month. Hmm, I must put together something special, what can it be?

Awww, this makes my heart sing. I can tell you honestly there were so many times I thought The Lair would go down into the memory hole, I just held on with lots of support from folks behind the scenes encouraging me to hold on. To them I am so grateful for their support, to the poets and posters who come for fun and end up writing poetry, and for the lurkers who come in and go in silence, thank you. Four years is a good long stretch, The Lair is a great love of my heart.
Okay, we will be looking forward to your special poem for The Lair's Fourth Anniversary.
