There's a lot of good news, it just doesn't sell. There will always be something, if anything they will only escalate. So just take it easy, I'm speaking to myself when I say that too.

Barbara, this is an excellent clerihew – superior to mine on Obama. Congratulations on the win. And thank you for your kind words about "Wild Grape Preserves." It's one of the many poems in my future book on growing up in New England. Best to you in all your endeavors / M
