The former address, "reactionary drivel," was a P. G. Wodehouse gag that few ever understood to be a mildly self-deprecating joke. Drivel, perhaps, but not reactionary. Neither the Red Caps nor the Reds ever got it.

About This Not-Really Reactionary
- Lawrence Hall, HSG
- Y'r 'umble scrivener knows how to milk cows (altho' he long ago swore to own no livestock larger than dachshunds), build fences, clear brush, and cut firewood. After 18 months in Viet-Nam and Cambodia he worked his way through university as an ambulance driver, nurses' aide, and then LVN. BA in History, University of San Diego, 1976; MEd, Stephen F. Austin State University, 1984; MA in English, Stephen F. Austin State University, 2002. He also taught school, but that makes him a class (no pun) enemy just now. He has been rejected by some of the finest publishing houses in America.

Happy to get out again Lawrence? Your me phone pics are great (and poems too). I'm all caught up. Good to see you didn't lose your sense of humor while in lockdown.
All good, thanks. That's a pre-lockdown picture; I haven't been to the B & N(it's 50 miles away) since. Sniff. I will look in this weekend to see if it's open.
This is a curious time, isn't it! Watching our leaders hissy-fit at each other is demoralizing until one realizes that they are irrelevant and chooses to ignore them.
I'm still in the shock and disbelieve stage. What's next? I want my money back, this ride's no fun.
