Poetry Friday: For The First Time
I hope you are not confused by the title of this post. It is simply the name of the weekly blogging event I am participating in, and the title of my poem which will appear therein.
I did not mean to imply that I was participating in Poetry Friday for the first time. This, in fact, is my 4th appearance in as many weeks. Prior to that, I was an irregular reader of some of the entries through links to some of the other poetry blogs I follow. My blog is not a poetry blog as such, it is more a mixed bag of miscellany in the shape of a blog. It is true that I am certainly on a poetry kick these days. While this is not the first time I have posted on Poetry Friday, this is the first poem I have written specifically with this blogging event in mind.
I really enjoy these blogging events. Back when I was homeschooling my kids, and this blog was called Home School Dad, I participated in weekly blogging events called Three Things Thursday, Works for me Wednesday, Wordless Wednesday, and my favorite the Carnival of Homeschooling. Some of my favorite posts in my 13 + years of blogging were when I hosted the aforementioned carnival.
In a few months, I will be hosting one of the Poetry Friday's which I am very excited about and have already begun drafting. One thing I will put an end to, at least for the week I host it, is this whole Poetry Friday on a Thursday thing. This is very typical of all the blogging events I've ever participated in. If you want to be one of the first posts on the Linky list, and who doesn't?, you need to post the day before. Now I must ask you my fellow existentialists, is it really Poetry Friday when you post it on Pre-Poetry Thursday?
Therefore, When I host in August, my post will drop at 11 p.m central time on Thursday Night. That's because it will be Friday in New York City and if that's good enough for New Year's Rocking Eve it's good enough for me.
I believe that's more than enough pre-amble/rant. Here is my poem for the week ...
For The First Time
Meeting someone
Is like
Walking
Into the middle
Of two movies
They walk into yours
You walk into theirs
You both walk into
What could be
The pivotal scene
Of your lives
Poetry Friday is being hosted this week at Reading to the Core.

State of the Blogs
I have decided to make HSD the flagship of the four blogs. That is why directly under this post you can see links to the latest posts of the other 3 blogs. To that end, periodically I will make a post of whats coming next in all of these blogs. Consider this one of thos posts?
What Am I Working On?
HSD: Aside from this post I am not working on any posts on this blog at this time. This week I hope to participate in Wordless Wednesday. I have a couple of ideas for the feuture Muzak Lessons I started last week and may start working on one of those soon.
Random Acts: I am currently working on a piece that combines politics and Christianity. Instead of trying to write it all at one time, I usyally only work at it for 15 to 30 minutes at a time. part of this is because of my schedule at work, the other reason is that I am trying to be much more deliberate about my writing at this time. I think taking my time to get my thoughts together and working without a deadline may aid that.
Crazy Uncle Daves: I just posted ther for the first time in over a year. This blog has never been a real time sports blog and I'd really like it to be. Unfortunately there are no real time sports at this surreal time . So until then I'll be trying to find a pace and contentent for posting that matches my time and inclinations.
Dave Out Loud. I am working on my first "live" segment of Dave out Loud in some time. I'll be taking the random takes idea I mentioned in my last post and running with it.
What Am I Thinking About?
I have been thinking about a podcast. I'm not sure if I'll ever pull the trigger on such a thing. However do expect a piece in Random Acts in the near future of 10 people I'd love to interview on a podcast.
Two weeks ago I participated in Wordless Wednesday for the first time in years. Last week I participated from 2 of my blogs. I am thinking about participating from all 4 on the same week sometime. I want to get a few more posts at Crazy Uncle and Dave Out Loud before I attempt such a feat.
What am I Planning?
I participated in the A to Z challenge this year at Random Acts. I need to work on an index page of my involvement and gave myself the month of May off from doing that. Here is my index page from my a to z challened last year. In June I plan to put up this year's index page.
I also have big plans for the a to z challenge for next year. There will need to be quite a bit of behind the scenes planning for it. I shall begin that work in earnest come June.
That's just a snippet of what to expect over the next few weeks and months.

Wordless Wednesday Washington and the Waltons
In April I participated from another one of my blogs in the a to z challenge where I had participated multiple times form HSD. One of the best things about the challenge is discovering, reading and commenting on other peoples blogs. Unfortunately, I did very little of that this year, but I discovered a blog called Comedy Plus and found that it was hosting one of my favorite memes of all time, Wordless Wednesday. I participated in it on many occasions years ago. I was glad to see it still exists.
I decided I would participate with a pic from our family trip to Washington DC 10 years ago.
Before I show the pic, I wanted to say that on the way to DC we stopped by Schuyler, VA where Earl Hamner, the writer and creator of The Waltons grew up and stopped by the Waltons Mountain Museum. After my picture and before a link to Wordless Wednesday is a 20 minute you tube video that I had saved as a draft here from the 45th reunion of the Waltons which took place at said museum.
