or something like that. lazy day here, a fairly rare day of doing nothing, and doing nothing is sometimes my favorite something. besides it is sunny, warm but a strong wind is blowing all the pollen, leaves and other allergens that it at times looks like snow falling. i find myself looking at vids at youtube.com, told anna that i was looking at old drive-in ads and mentioned that say 5 years ago these intermission shorts were hard to come by but now are common as hell on the infoweb. however, 1 short that we both remember vividly from our childhoods was a live-action musical feature where you can get pizza with 'mushy roomy room sauce'. it must've been a local production because it was in constant rotation at the sac 6 drive-in from the 1970s to the 1980s. however, i can't seem to find it anywhere. i'd love to see it again. anna asked for the computer when i told her this and she pointed the browser to internet archive where there's quite a few intermission ads but no 'mushy roomy room sauce'. well then one thing leads to another and i find myself using the wayback machine where you can type in an url and usually find the website preserved for posterity. i'm delighted to find and read one of the first poetry blogs i had ever read, the skeptic by poet john erhardt and wonder why erhardt who is a fine poet stopped blogging. here's to hoping erhardt starts blogging again.
