Announcements

Post by Steve Plonk » March 13th, 2010, 11:47 am

This announcement will introduce this column, "Life in the Horse Lane", to the blog. I am Steve Plonk. I have two B.S. degrees from land grant universities, and am a member of the Academy of American Poets. I live in the Chattanooga, TN metro area. I've been published in small quarterlies and monthlies. I look forward to hearing from all of you who are interested in posting to this standing column format.

I intend to post opinions, essays, articles, stories, poetry, etc., even humor pieces to be discussed, etc. within normal limits. I am not highly technical, so I won't be able to answer all posts. However, I will, at times, seem distant, which is my take on getting into the role of moderator. I have to try to wing it at times when flammability leaks out. Hopefully, we won't have too much of that. I am new at this, so bear with me. Thanks for this opportunity to have my own column site. Thank you to all who have posted on my opinions so far. Happy Trails!

I have a new artlog entitled: "Flying Horse Cafe".
Look for it in with the other Artlogs. 8) :D

Update: My new Artlog is up & flying today, August 14, 2013. Welcome Readers of my poetry.
Most of my poetry has a new home in my Artlog. 8) :D

Sorry, folks, I will not be able to post very often, in the next few weeks.
I am having "hard drive" problems with my computer.
Hopefully, in a few weeks, my computer will be repaired. Thanks for your
readership. Hope to see you again soon. 8)

Please refrain from commenting "off topic", on my threads. I will try to help by moving
these off topic remarks to a new thread especially made for the topic discussed. Thanks.
I can't anticipate all topics, but I am open to new ones. Any other suggestions for new
topics will be appreciated. 8)

Announcement: Sorry I haven't been able to post in quite some time.
On November 26th, I had a five hour spinal fusion operation.
I can't drive a car, nor lift more than ten pounds!

In addition, my computer is located downstairs in the den.
I have had trouble, until recently, going up and down stairs because of tremendous pain. :(
If that wasn't enough, my personal computer needs to be replaced and freezes up on me. Moreover, when upstairs, I have been busy sending off some fictionalized memoirs, and poetry compilations by snail mail. I have to get online help downstairs from time to time. I got some stitches out and am making progress. :)

I hope you other members and readers will understand that I will be back regularly posting as soon as possible. I am
in the process of borrowing a portable laptop to facilitate quicker communication.
Thanks in advance for your understanding
and I hope you have a happy and healthy new year. :D
