I’m heading off to the Northeastern US for about two weeks, stopping in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. KSE Orders that come in during that period will be shipped on May 28th when I return. I’ll be visiting my 89-year-old mother, taking her to “Raynham Park” dog racing track (one of my favorite places) for an exciting afternoon of greyhound racing, and trying to get her to do other things that no one else in the family could ever get her to do! 
During this trip, I’ll also be visiting two great KSE poets: Ronald Baatz in the Catskills west of Woodstock, and Zachary C. Bush in Jersey City. In addition, I’ll be hitting the small towns in the Catskills, the Louis Armstrong House in Queens NY, the legendary DIA:BEACON Museum (in particular, the Warhol “Shadows” permanent exhibition) in Beacon NY, the Rhode Island School of Design Museum in Providence, looking up other old friends (among them, one pal of mine from back in elementary school days is in a bar-band that appears here and there south of Boston, and I’ll try to catch him–haven’t seen him in person since I was 14 or 15), and mostly just taking each day spontaneously and seeing what I find and what happens. And no computer access the whole time!!!
Talk to you again at the end of May…
