Well, not exactly. I thought, however, that I would post something like this to "lighten the mood" after the rather heavy offerings lately. It is like the sorbet after the kielbasa, kraut, potato dumplings and kluski noodles that make up the Polish (I guess) meal that has been this blog.
For a poet, I am a hell of a...whatever it is that I do.

Will and I would grill anything we could fit on the grill including Soup and SPAM. Will and I waxed philosophical about the American Revolution and "I got $5 on it" and talked about Profs. who drank weed infused coffee while they listened to "Free Ride".
Lostasock is my spouse :7)
I was right! Lost A Sock is Molly Ray!
Score one for the boys back home.
And now I'm REALLY going to have to talk my coworkers into going to get gyros for lunch (and they have real lamb gyros here...and the Lord (and Jenks) said, "It is good.").
