A weekend trek to Providence for the National Poetry Slam finals. So many familiar Texas faces at the 2000 seat Veterans Memorial Auditorium, I had to pinch myself. The 7 hour drive back on Sunday took 11 hours. Gloomy rain and bumper to bumper through most of Connecticut, trip was made better than bearable by Karen Finnyfrock riding shotgun and Wammo who drove the final stretch from NJ to home. I'll give you a more complete review next week.
