Amarillo Bay Volume 18 Number 2

[Robert Whitsitt Amarillo Bay]

***** What's in This Issue?

In our first issue, published on May 3, 1999, we published the poem Summer Sky by Carol Coffee Reposa. In this issue, over 17 years later ( ! ), we're publishing two more of her excellent poems. It is fun to read the biography she provided with the first poem, and the one she provided now, with many more accomplishments. ☺

Now you need to go to the Contents and start enjoying this issue!

What, still here? Okay, because I have three personal things to share. First, my wife and I went to the Galápagos islands on a trip run by National Geographic/Lindblad Expeditions. It was even more amazing than we expected, with wonderful naturalists, interesting and often funny talks, a reasonable amount of exercise, and excellent food. Being on a ship with 48 passengers (and a crew of about 30) was a plus so we could get to know our fellow travelers. If you can scrape up the time and money to do it, we heartily recommend it!

Second, my wife, Lana Bryan, has agreed to become a permanent proofreader in addition to the stellar help we are given by Nikki Carr. Lana has often read the stories, but now she'll be reading everything with an editor's eye.

The third personal thing is that in June I turned 70 years old. I've known this was coming for, well, nearly 70 years, but to actually be approaching the milestone of three score and ten is pretty daunting. I have to ask myself if I've done all that I could to help the universe while also enjoying myself. Amarillo Bay definitely is on the plus side of that equation!

I'm done. Now you can go to the Contents.
