the city of Terminal Tower has a new distinction. the website of Forbes Magazine lists it as #1 for bad winters stating it takes "endurance" to survive the annual average of 60" of snow.
today Cleveland is on tap for another 6". while this towerless town now my home will have a quiet day before tomorrow's storm.

the winter that won't quit
don't know whether to blame El Nino or Al Gore but I'm weary of this. today's storm is the first of 3 predictd to hit here just this week.
as a former Ohioan I still trekkd to the gym this ayem while neighbors were before their fireplaces. but for me spring can't come soon enuf.

feeling special
during the week 2 of my oldest friends -- Ira Joel Haber & James Robert Parish -- both sent me goodie packages. they often gather obituaries of those they know I care abt & postcards & playbills sometimes DVDs or magazines & send them along. it always soothes my often wrinkld brow.
then today my newest friend Kevin McCollister sent a book he knew I'd like.
my thx to all of them.

preparing
The Arrow That is Hollywood Pierces the Soul That is Me for publication I cut the Evelyn Nesbit poem. I still like it. but I don't think it works in the final manuscript.
now the hard part. trying to find a publisher. altho I've been at this game for more than 40 years I'm not good at it. & right now I'm not sure where to go.

EVELYN NESBIT REMEMBERS
climbing stairs
of boardinghouse
in Hollywood
the girl
in the
red velvet
swing
thinks back
to the nite
she snuck out
on Stanford White
to spend
in the arms
of John Barrymore
for one moment
she cd still
smell him
