On March 17, 2011 I found the following notes written down on an index card. My reactions are in italics:
- Got rid of cable TV- my pockets are bound to get fatter and my reading increase.
I still found plenty of other ways to waste time.
- Pondering writing letter to major newspapers urging them to include regular publication of poetry
I think it would be cool if there was a more far reaching system in place for discovering and promoting new poets in America but since the newspapers are dying I don't think we need to include them in this plan.
- Thinking of subscribing to the Los Angeles Times, poetry or not
I lived in Los Angeles at the time but could just pull my news from reputable websites.
- Should write to Grandma more often
She prefers phone calls. I talked to her about a week ago.
