Mr. Words Worth's World of Worthy Words

The first chapter of your book did the opposite. It grabbed me and pulled me in. Now ABOUT that book…

/// aw man…

I promise I will get back to it.

honest.

it was easy to do when i wasn’t busy.

and i have ideas and things worked out in my head.

i just haven’t had the time here, or the inclination there.

but summer is coming.

and things may quiet down.

and if i get antsy…

you and Judy will be the first to know.

I want to cry when I read those books.

/// i really, really wanted the book to grip me.

but when the first paragraph is all about the road being paved, and not the unraveling of some enigmatic or engaging anecdote, you lose me.

BTW, i keep meaning to email you more.

For no reason other than to say hi.

PS: mail for you goes out tomorrow.

Once I write something to go in it.

Being for the Benefit of Danagel: 

1. Where do you see yourself in five years?

/// Over the hill. Hairless. Fat. Haunting a recording studio like Syd Barrett. Or I could be a real American and have a robot that feeds me Freezies all day. Who knows? Most likely, I will be telling you where I see myself in five years. 

1. Marx Brothers or Three Stooges (you may NOT pass)?

/// Karl Marx fronting The Stooges.

1. Are you a leader or a follower? Why?

///  I’m more of a LOLower. 

1. What is your favorite sport and who is your favorite team? (Note to Cleveland fans: you may pass)

/// Poking my brain with a stick.

1. Pop or soda? Gum band or rubber band? Creek or crick? Captain or Tenille?

/// Soda, unless you meant Iggy or Frank. Rubber band, because Bootsy, baby. Creek. I believe he’s called Cap’n.

1. Name one person you know and one person you don’t who inspire you to be better at something that is important to you.

/// Leonard Cohen inspires me to be a better poem writer, so I besmirched him there. And M’lady to just generally write my best.

1. Who is your favorite author (besides Dr Seuss)?

/// Raymond Carver.

1. Would you rather have perfect hearing or perfect sight for the rest of your life?

/// I think we all know what I’d opt for.

1. Do you like the person you’ve become?

/// I’m okay with me if I am. But I don’t know about him.

1. If train A leaves Boston at 2:15am at 40 mph and train B leaves Los Angeles at 4:30am traveling 65 mph at what point did you stop reading this question?

/// Last Thursday around 3:33 .p.m.

1. If you were at a tweetup and saw a guy standing in the corner by himself would you walk up and talk to him? Note: he does NOT look like Ryan Gosling but he DOES have excellent taste in beer.   He may or may not be holding a camera.

/// Sir, I am that guy in the corner by himself. I know nothing about beer. And I would be holding a FREEZIE.

danagel replied to your post: I think I am coming to Boston. Woo me. WOO ME!

Alright! Details, details my good sir!

danagel replied to your post: Dear Danagel. There is a place in Boston that does…

The Langham Hotel? If you visit, I will take you. And probably go with you on your BBQ journey as well…

Dear Danagel.

There is a place in Boston that does a chocolate bar brunch with 100+ items.

I may be visiting you again.

Wrote a long email to Danagel.

Signed it MrWW, esq. 

It was the least I could do.

Not just for what was in the box.

But the note that explained why it was in there.

BTW, he put a couple of records in it.

Two of which I did not own.

Now that’s a miracle.

Damn you, danagel. You gave me weepies.

danagel replied to your post: Rush gets into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. And…

Now that Rush is in the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame, does that mean today will become a national holiday in Canada?

/// No, it will be the day they are actually inducted. 

We need to be sure it happens.

We are too timid to get all excited just yet.
