Spending a cloudy Sunday alone can have its
melancholic moments. However, there are some
very nice advantages: napping at will; lazily going
through the newspaper; and picking a few newly-
discovered poems by Jim Kacian:
repotting the jade . . .
regretting
that I am childless
bees drunk on my wine this flower-filled day
night fishing
bailing the moon
out of the boat
whiskey I sip it till I love it
“KacianSelf” Jim Kacian
“repotting the jade” – Modern Haiku (Winter 2002)
“night fishing” – World Haiku Ass’n bio
“whiskey” & “bees” – World Haiku Ass’n bio/p.2

We hope it’s funnier than our infamous Weakend Specials.
Hricik, over whether we need laws to protect law school
applicants from deceptive marketing by the schools, reminded
me of my post last November on school taglines. I wonder what
Prof. Hricik thinks about the slogans chosen by the schools in
the list we presented from The Great Stamats Tagline Repository.
Google raises some very interesting and important issues. This
afternoon, I finally checked out a few weblogs dealing with the
topic. There’s a good discussion at Lessig’s Blog, and see EFF,
and madisonian.net.
voting against Judge Roberts’ nomination are not persuasive.
However, it’s only fair to point out that it is George W. Bush
who is always telling us that he’s looked into someone’s eyes
and seen his soul or his good heart. Obama gets to make
similar assessments.
Thanks to the Score Bard at the Humbug Baseball Toaster
(hey, I don’t name ’em!), for linking to our baseball haiku page and
reminding me to remind you about it. Consider yourself reminded.

poem. secondly, was visited today by andrew
riutta. andrew is a fairly new voice in the
haikusphere, and i think the best to have come along in a long time. his tanka are superb, as is his freeverse poetry. this man is a major
talent, brilliant in a word. am encouraging
you to add his work to the guest poets archive.
