I was overseas with a guy who promised to write his wife every day. He was on an unaccompanied tour. He called his letters to her The Daily Bulletin, after the base newsletter telling what time the parade was Saturday, and so forth. When Area Beautification Week started (hoe the fire lanes). What bars in the village were off limits.

Bulletin from bulletino, the diminutive of bulla, as in papal bull. The bulla was a seal, and a papal bull had the Pope's ring pressed in hot lead. His chop.

To me, a writer has a voice. Pipes. A set of chops. His authenticity derives from his character. Is you is or is you ain't an existentialist?

Like William Blake. Go and see for yourself. Report back what you find.

A Mixed Bag: A Memoir, Some Poems,

Coming Off Sabbatical is the third boxed set of the series American Original: An Underground Writer Saga. The other two boxed sets are Sacked and At the House. They were posted at The Daily Bugle and roman-feuilleton.com, but I took them down in a fit of paranoia over getting a defense job that might require a security clearance.

I got what I thought was a permanent job, I lost it, I got another job.

I came off sabbatical and went back to work.
