I'm in Florida where I've realized that the version of Word that comes with this corporate ThinkPad won't let me save in html with the degree of formatting I need in order to properly post here. I also have a raging sinus infection that makes my head feel puffy & stupid -- always a great way to impress colleagues at work.
Most of my co-workers know that I write poetry, tho few of course have any idea exactly what that might mean. I tried to keep that fact under wraps on my first job out of college, back in the 1970s, but when I published an admiring review of Tom Clark's book Neil Young in Rolling Stone somebody saw it & posted it on a bulletin board.
Nowadays everybody just Googles you when you start a new job. It doesn't necessarily work the other way, tho. Of the 7,500 or so sites Google lists in relation to my name, only 100 actually are in reference to my job.
