Everyone is CO2

I suppose it's time to convert this infrequent blog into a casual blog that makes me a bit more Googleable. First step: for Everyone is CO2, my first collection of poetry, my middle name make its first appearance since 2005.  As news about the book, tweets about the book, or other any thoughts arise, sometimes I might use this space for things that don't really fit on Facebook.

I haven't really had much to say about sports and art lately anyway. The Barnstormer does that just fine.

Everyone is CO2, Wolsak and Wynn 2014

Home Opener!

...and of course, what better way to prepare for the 2010 Jays' (currently 5-1) season than a cross-blog pollination with Jake Mooney and his optimism project through the Torontoist.

Click here and read not just today's entry by yours truly, but the previous six days which have me feeling pretty damn good about...well...everything. Even Vernon Wells!

It's hard to excerpt something that's less than 300 words, but here's a taste of my treatise which Mooney summarizes as "the ineffable feeling of hope that accompanies the beginning of a new MLB season"

Opening day optimism is a shared secret. Shhhhh, stay sober in the face of perceived conclusion that the Blue Jays’ playoff hopes are obstructed by behemoths of history and finance; the AL East is the terrain of baseball’s best (Yankees, Red Sox, and Devil Rays). A failed optimist lingers on other’s success, on cruel divisional alignments; she transforms to pessimist instantly.

I'll be in the upper deck tonight and expect to see a decent game, a lot of completely hammered white people, and Alex Rios, being escorted by armed guards to and from the dugout each inning. Ah, sport.
