stuff and things
1. We have all voted. Emma has been very conscientious in voting by absentee ballot in both the general election and run-off. I am feeling optimistic that Warnock will prevail.
2. Fiona is into musicals! Hurray! She asked me to watch The Sound of Music a couple of weeks ago and thoroughly dug it. We watched the sing-along version where they put the lyrics up on the screen which was really helpful for her ability to follow along. Her favorite song was "Maria."
She went to the state Beta Club Convention earlier this week and came home raving about a girl who danced to a song called "Chanticles." Further investigation revealed that she'd misheard Jellicle. So now I have a burgeoning Cats fan on my hands. LOL
3.
Something Black in the Green Part of Your Eye by Kevin Cantwell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this collection of poetry. It's rooted in place, primarily the south (and in particular Georgia), with many lovely descriptions of the natural world. Several of the poems comment on or explicate pieces of art.

One of Those Russian Novels by Kevin Cantwell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Almost every poem in this collection is about death; from elegies for friends, family, and poets to musings on the author's own eventual mortality, this volume contains clear-eyed and sharply observed commentary on living knowing that we're all going to die.
