Quoted in the Grove:
If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.
~David Viscott
When you cannot make up your mind which of two evenly balanced courses of action you should take – choose the bolder.
~Ezra Pound
Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one’s ideas, to take a calculated risk – and to act.
~Andre Malraux

Instead of waiting for circumstances to be right for restarting the newsletter, the decision was made to begin and make the best of an uncertain schedule. If delivery is spotty and the results less than perfect, it will not be for want of trying
The work coming out of Thurs Word Games makes the reading a continuing surprise and a growing pleasure. Practice makes better, and these are writers who write. It shows in the rising quality, and it is gratifying to know that this is being recognized elsewhere. This makes reviewing for the Post & Review a worthwhile effort and a happy indulgence for this editor

Favorite verse, second of three (quoted)
…
Blending silent salacity
inside her cage
With violent pugnacity
painted by rage
Beyond her capacity,
burdened by age
she exposed her opacity
somewhere backstage
…
~Piffin: “Hoboken”
~BarTalk: Armistice Day

Impromptu: Titled: Fame
~Piffin: “Fame” (quoted)
Dakota; winter
Blue lights on red cobblestone
Catcher in the Rye
~Greymane: Fame
Stroll the road of bright lights, getting fast and loose with crime and lust, distracted by glitter and shiny things, the tease of glitz … a name, with price tags
~Greenie: Fame
“Elusive … evasive … simplistic … fallacious …” ~ high praise indeed
~BarTalk: Fame
