I could write you a post about what's going on in my front yard that's got my neighbours all curious, or about the perennials that Shelley and I bought today. But what happened when we were buying perennials is that someone dragged a fence across the pavement just a few feet away from us and I squinched up my face and said "God, what a terrible sound." and Shelley said, "Do you think you maybe have a migraine?"

And I said "No, I don't think so." And then remembered that usually when people ask me if I have a migraine, I have a migraine. So I said "Oh, maybe yes." By the time I got home, it was definitely yes. I'm home now from the Hartman's where I replenished my stock of ibuprofen and talked to the pharmacist about trading off between it and acetominophen and tried not to squinch my face up because his voice was so grating against the rest of the white noise in the store.

So. Since I'm not going to tell you about any of that, I'm going to ask you for your opnion.

I'm doing a reading on the 31st, as you all know, for which I'm hoping to have something new done. But I'll also read some of Your Weekly Dose, because I got 'em and I likes 'em. But there are quite a few, and it's always hard to pick.

How I'm going to pick this time is by the comments. A few of them, though not so many, have nice little tidbits of appreciation appended to them. If someone likes them that much, they deserve to be read.

Now's your chance to tell me what to do. Go on over to Your Weekly Dose and put a comment on the post(s) you'd like to hear me read, whether you can make it or not. Put them on as many posts as you'd like, though I'll delete any more than one per person on each post.

I'll pick a handful the night before, and I may read the comments out loud too, if I like them particularly.

I could probably have written that more succinctly. Blame it on the fact that the ibuprofen hasn't kicked in yet.
