Hi

My name is Sue and although I've been a member for a pretty long time, I've really never participated much here. But now I look forward to reading everyones poetry and sharing a little of my own.

It doesn't happen as often now because I live too far from Virginia (where I think it might be easier to have vanity plates on one's car than not to), but I love to try to figure out what people code in the poems of their plates.

I kinda superimpose that game on people's screen/pen names...and have been trying to figure out gandsharp. Maybe a harpist named Gand? Or, where I ended up, that maybe you were a musician who likes to compose in the Key of G...and G sharp at that.

(I'm probably not so good at the plates either.)

But I've been enjoying your posts. Nice to meet you, Sue!

Hi Joel

It was a combo of mine and my ex husbands name....His initial, G, the word "and" my initial, S, then the last name Harp.... not much thought into I guess. But the car in the pic on my profile is the one I drive evryday.....from Todd Rundgren album covers.....thats Todd himself sitting in the car.....I call it my Todd Rodd :D

Howdy Sue

I sometimes think of this place as a tea party. We leak so much information. 8)


Tea at Rachel Varnhagen's


Currant bread and current affairs
Strong Assam and rooms hazy with words
Beauty and brain not a contradiction in terms
Salons where male and female minds
Shamelessly mated on plush ottomans
Where sensuous mouths dared breathing hard truths
Where strong wills fearlessly bowed to the
Ingenious stroke of a feathery well-kept hand

June 2006

Only reason I used it was the avatar. Not my grandfather my namesake maternal. great grandfather.
