I'd just finished posting previous, when poet David Cashman stopped in to see me. He had come back from a trip, visiting his daughter in Amsterdam; & told me how he was walking around there with his friend Anne, when she noticed a small plaque on a run-down hotel. It turned out to be a memorial to Chet Baker, marking the spot where he fell to the pavement.

New, slightly tweaked & improved, Island Road.

Happy BLOOMSDAY

Yet another Marlow, while we're at it.

Happy (Melchior-Melchizedek) MLK Day
