In which I am bossy for a good cause

(I’ve been meaning to post this for a while, but I have been extra-special procrastinatory lately (though, as you can see, I did find time to invent a new word :p).)

WordPress has partnered with a company called SocialVibe, through which sponsors donate to various charities. (Click here for complete details.) Now, what am I asking you to do? Just glance over to the sidebar, on the left-hand side of the page, and scroll all the way down, until you see a large rectangular box marked ‘SocialVibe.’ Click on the ‘help now’ button, and, just by clicking, money will be donated to the Whaleman Foundation, which helps whales and dolphins. Thank you!

Turn-back-the-clock Thursday

A few weeks ago, as I do occasionally, I was looking through a school memory book. It’s full of tests, report cards, drawings, and other assorted things (among them, a literal LOL-inducing letter to then-President Reagan), including a few poems, and since it’s been so poetry-centric around here lately (ahem, when I’ve posted), I thought it would be cute (and hopefully not self-indulgent) to post one of my ‘early works.’ It’s from June 2, 1988; I was just about to turn 8 1/2:
