The kind of humor I like is the thing that makes me laugh for five seconds and think for ten minutes = G. CARLIN...Stain glass, engraved glass, frosted glass
–give me plain glass = JOHN FOWLES ... Music is the mathematics of the gods=PYTHAGORAS ... Nothing is more fluid than language = R. L. SWIHART
I cannot live without the oxygen of laughter = DAWN POWELL ... !!! ... But laughter cannot survive without the hydrogen of gravitas = PAUL OLIVERIO

When In Doubt, Knock On Wood Atwood

The only thing
with crazy people

is to be 
somewhere else

Most people are good

  1. I read somewhere that Margaret Atwood's strongest influence
    was DAWN POWELL, an author who is no stranger
    to your blog pages.

    1. Oliverio greatly appreciates your comment
      but he knew—from his first reading of ATWOOD—
      that someone as talented as Margaret had to be
      seriously under the influence of a master
      who was also a mystery
      .

      The boldness of the last line is no better way to describe
      DAWN POWELL who—beyond sadness—is virtually unknown
      in the hoola-hoop literary circles
