Wordgrove Post & Review

Quoted in the Grove:
I have a rock garden. Last week three of them died.
~Richard Diran

I bought a cactus. A week later it died. And I got depressed, because I thought, Damn. I am less nurturing than a desert.
~Demetri Martin

My doctor gave me two weeks to live. I hope they’re in August.
~Ronnie Shakes

Posted from the Grove:
It was thought that something might be done to counter the morbidity of this week’s prewritten assignment with some levity. A call went out. This week’s quotes applied and were hired on the spot

The question is whether to go small for Halloween, WG Nutters only, or go big and invite everyone to our Halloween bash (…it was a graveyard smash). And, we go visit theirs. Thoughts?

WG’s part of the party will have two places to go for Halloween fun. Sweat-free chat or shivers and chills will be happening all night at ReenRen’s Cannery Club center. Some houses on WG pier will have open house. The large circle area behind WG’s clubhouse is open to anyone with a Halloween or fun paz they’d like to show. Pazs the size of Pendora’s haunted graveyard or noxy’s mound of terror, and smaller, could be made into a hodgepodge carnival faire, with alleys for creeping within a pastiche of spook. Colorful pazs interspersed among the eerie and dreary would be good for contrast

These are suggestions only, easily amended or dropped as impractical. But if creating something for the simple pleasures to be found in creating, or if building a 3D experience for other peeps to enjoy rings your bell, then Halloween is too good an opportunity to miss

Sorry, alcohol on premises is for display purposes only. This party is Bring Your Own Spirits

Stejovis had inquired in the past about a Letters to the Editor section for the Post & Review. Yes. The answer is, Yes.  Absent venom and vitriol, any comment, suggestion, question or complaint will be printed. This newsletter is part of Wordgrove’s dialog. Do not hesitate to correct the editor when he is in error. Due to length limits of club mail, the P&R does ask that letters be no longer than three paragraphs

It is also possible to comment directly to the online edition of the Post & Review. There is no apparent length limit. Go to:

~whitefeather:
My obituary is something I leave to chance
Not comfortable with penning her obituary before the occasion demands, a quote is left instead:

What if when we die, the light at the end of the tunnel is just us being pushed out of another vagina?
~anon

Lazy Ocean
A pile of clothes on the sand, a soothing of skin by the sea, a merging of self and the ocean, a blessing from the sky … she dreams

~ReenRen: Eulogy – The Man called Beast

~ReenRen: a one or two line fortune cookie…
He loves you as much as he can,
but he cannot love you very much.

~Piffin: Mermaid Prayer
Glistening images and word play; the ocean’s wet world of surge and ebb, and the dry world’s bed of love have equal power to move, whelmed by waves and rapture

~BarTalk: biography
