Sorry about the long hiatus. The collection is not completed...The last few weeks have been a bit hectic and also sad (my doggy died). I'll get around to posting more stuff soon.
Cheers,
Laurie

About Me
- Laurie
- (It's about time I re-think this blurb)...Self-centered poetic type. When finally attending university in my 30's, I discovered poetry was pretty damned interesting. I also discovered the fascinating tale and talent of Sylvia Plath. Over a decade later her poetry and life (and Hughes') still intrigues me. (OKAY.I'll keep the above). I am a music fiend. (YES, still true) Mostly weaned on rock and classical, I discovered the beauty of opera a few years ago, starting with an obsession with Andrea Bocelli's lovely voice. So Pink Floyd to Elgar to Verdi--Leonard Cohen to Beethoven and the White Stripes--It's all good. And thank Gawd for iTunes getting rid of all those pesky cd's. Kurt Cobain was my second cousin from my Aberdeen family tree. I try to write poetry and have had a few published. And over the years since this blog was created, my photography hobby fell into obscurity via digital cameras. I lost interest in shooting pictures from that tiny metal object with a screen.

Laurie,
I hope you are doing well, my thoughts are with you.
Yours

I really am sorry about your dog. It is a treat to see your collection online for all of us to ogle. There's an envelope for sale on eBay right now, hand-addressed by J.D. Salinger to a former Jesuit priest with whom he corresponded. $50K. Just the envelope. Cripes!
Thanks and Thanks. I sure miss her.
Yikes! An envelope? I adore Salinger, but wouldn't pay more than 49k for one (haha). Seriously, that is a crazy price for a mere address. Seems high even if it was the correspondence itself.
Sympathies to you. The love a dog can express merely with its eyes is one of the heartwarming-est things in the world, and we get that and all the yins, the yangs, the joys, and the sorrows of life, the package deal.!
Thanks George. I was washing windows yesterday and ended up removing her nose bump marks on the small window she'd nudge open when she felt like it. I'd been 'okay' for a while till then. You're right about the yin/yang. "Better to have loved and lost..."
Laurie, so sorry to hear of the loss of your companion.These creatures occupy a place in our hearts no-one else can ever fill. She'll always be with you.
50,000 dollars for an ENVELOPE !!! Wonder if anyone actually buys it.
Laurie, I've been out of touch with what's happening with you, and I see your dog died - so sorry to hear that.
You alerted me to your S&T collection some time ago, and I've just clicked in and had a look round. It reminds me of visiting a small museum tucked away in a village cottage somewhere. The difference is just a screen instead of glass cases. Thanks for the peek! An impressive little collection.
Take care,
Diane
Oh I am so sorry about your dog. My parents just gave way my dog too, it is not the same thing, I know, but still.
And yeah, take your time.
There is so much more I need to read on your blog.
cheers

Laurie - I've long ago become worried about you as there've been no posts. But in case you read this I want to send you a gift for your Plath/Hughes collection. Please email me at fitzmar@aol.com - Best to you from George
