Now Voyager Sail Thou Forth

Kate's coast-bound to commemorate the Ike anniversary.

I choose the coast over the sanitarium, and leave you three parting gifts:

One: A piece I wrote for this week's issue to honor one year since Hurricane Ike,

plus a full interview with Gal Mayor Lyda Ann Thomas.

Two: Eager anticipation for Andy to weigh in on aGLIFF.

and Three: Words from Walt Whitman (via Leaves of Grass and Bette Davis)

The Untold Want

THE untold want, by life and land ne’er granted, Now, Voyager, sail thou forth, to seek and find.
