    Good pics. It almost looks like the peloton is on top of the train in the second one. Have you ever been on the sub-reddit “confusing perspective.”?

    Hey Quasi. How are you doing? We haven't talked in a while.

    Merry Christmas Quasi. We haven't spoken in a while. I hope you have a special holiday.

    Here's a present and a card for you.

    Quasi... I quite like the Metamorphoses myself... and escaped your enforced reading experience. It is a huge influence on the visual arts... perhaps second only to the Bible. But I threw my vote toward the Tang Poets and Holderlin... hopefully one of those two will take the lead.

    Thank you so much for giving me your honest opinion on the poems on my blog. As I am thinking about publishing, or attempting to publish some of my poems in the near future, there are also poems that I haven't put on there, but I really value your opinion on the ones I have.
    Just a quick question. If I delete a few of these poems completely, do you think I should try to publish them?
    I'd be honoured if you'd accept my friend request.

    I've just been reading a couple of articles by Adam Roberts that you linked to in the Contemporary Poetry thread. Thank you for the link, and for helping to make the contemporary scene a bit more accessible.

    You might want to look at this week's Poem of the Week discussion. I picked a modern poet you might be vaguely familiar with: http://www.online-literature.com/for...d=1#post967740

    It feels like an eternity Quasi. We left home on May 15th. We're waiting for a court date to be scheduled. Hopefully it will be next week. I was hoping to be home by the 4th of July but now that looks a little in doubt. Things are going well, but slow. Thank you.

    Yes I am. You can check out my blogs Quasi. I've been keeping people informed that way. My last ten are all on the adoption since we set off to here. Not sure how many of them you've seen. Have you seen pictures of the baby? We have about two more weeks to go here.
