Will we Age? Yes. Grow old? Let's not. I think that ageless philosopher, Satchel Paige, had it about right when he asked, "How old would you be if you didn't know how old you was? This is a "magazine" blog comprised of stuff that interests me and I hope interests some of you, too.

The Kudzu Chronicles — Poetry of the South
By Beth Ann Fennelly. She and her husband, Tom Franklin, a short story writer, both teach at Ole Miss. In my opinion, Beth Ann Fennelly is the one of — if not the— best poet writing today. Her poems of the South and her life in Mississippi are simply captivating. This video is of her reading an excerpt from "The Kudzu Chronicles", a rather long poem. Contained within the complete poem are references to Faulkner, the Neshoba County Fair and her home in Oxford.
Missionary Work — few folks really like poetry. Some say they do. By clicking on here, you may either read "The Kudzu Chronicles" or, if you prefer, listen to her reading it and discover her for yourself.

"Mad as Hell"
Wonderful Peter Finch (as Howard Beale) scene in the movie: Network. In my opinion, this is a great, satirical Paddy Chayefsky/Sidney Lumet film. Today, it seems sort of topical... to me.
