I have to know. Does this mean that Bob will be buying a black turtleneck and beret, and going out on the road with a jazz combo to tour small venues across our nation with his poetry stylings? Why am I suddenly flashing on the movie "So I Married An Axe Murderer"? -J "Harriet. Harri---et. Heartless harbinger of haggis." Okay. I have to know.

It reminds me of "The Tao of Pooh". Now I'm cracking up at work. On one hand, Bob could think, "Great. There goes my Green Beret image. Poet-warrior reduced to comparison with Pooh: A Bear of Very Little Brain." On the other hand, Bob, there are worse comparisons. Pooh's much loved. He's a GAB. I'm laughing way more than I should over my own silliness. Maybe I'm on tryptophane overload. I just reread the title of Jenny’s blog post: “The Poetry of Bob”. It reminds me of “The Tao of Pooh”.
