I had almost forgotten about my Notes From a Life in Progress trivia give away (or whatever I called it) when Brendan and his Leptard, blogging to us from scenic and no doubt mythic Galway in the west of Ireland, sent an e-mail my way that was absolutely chock full of correct responses to the trivia questions I posed. Brendan, as I understand, actually took the time to poke through my archives to arrive at the following facts:

Sarah and myself met in 1989 through the medium of voicemail. No, not some kind of telephone dating service but a strangely creative/social bubble that grew around this technology.

I have discovered two male poets/writers in the past year or so and have subsequently blogged about them and their respective works. What are their names?

Congratulations, Brendan, and thanks once again for joining in the fun here. Soon, for your efforts and bravado in braving my archives, you will be luxuriating in the splendor and ease of Deep Tapioca issue 4, Vol. I, 2003, a masterwork of poetry by yours truly improving by virtue of its rich insight and very presence the space of page ten (10).
