call me crazy, but i love xmas music. don't you? at work that's all they play. a lot of my co-workers are already sick of the tunes, but not me. there's one christmas song that always makes me a bit weepy. but i'm not going to tell you which one. you might use that song against me.

Is it "I'll be Home for Christmas"? That one always gets me.
I spent 6 years in the band in junior high and high school. It was a very long time ago, but I can still play the Christmas medley on both flute and piano!
The John Lennon Christmas song always makes me teary-eyed.
I thought you were a xicano poet.
Your macdowell links and photos always inspire. I live vicariously through you and the others who have gone.
I like egg salad too.
Chicano poets are a dying breed,
welcome to the club.

I want to apply to MacDowell and also offer a residency--someone could stay in my house with the dogs while I was at MacDowell. Would that work?
