[Norman Ball]

The essays have been stacking up. The first one is a call-to-arms on the back-end for poets. There's something for the whole family here! Bring Biff and Trudie along! If you print them out, I suppose Spot can have a go at them too. But please, all paper face-down if you don't mind.

Man, you have been busy. And successful! Big congratulations for each and every placement!

[Edmund Conti]

That list looks impressive. NOw I guess I have to go read some of it to make intelligent remarks. Or copy an article on Norman Ball from Wikipedia and hand it in. Hey, I know these will be good, you already forced me to read another bunch. Highly pre-recommended.

[Norman Ball]

I'm trying to shift my readership Ed from compulsory to compulsive. But I thank you for hanging in with the assignments until that can be accomplished. Just remember, double-spaced and leave me room for comments in the margins. Thank you to you too, Janice.

Norm, good to see you again,

I'll dive into these later tonight, and thanks for the heads-up, I am sure they are a lot of fun.

I read two of these this evening - YouTube and Nasdaq - both delightful. YouTube fascinates me. On the one hand I'm addicted to it, on the other, I think everyone else is too -- and who is going to read poetry when they can look at an endless supply of porn and cute kitten pictures?
