   Well, YES, here I am again, at long DAMN LAST!                           
                                                                            
   Q:  YO, Inez, where you been, whatcha been doing and just what the       
       'HEY' has been going on?                                             
                                                                            
   A:  Ok, ok, questions, questions, questions, which deserve answers,      
       answers, answers!                                                    
                                                                            
       I've been around and I've been doing the appropriate doing.  Now     
       as for what has been going on, well some has been good, some has     
       been bad and I refuse to even contemplate going into the ugly        
       and don't assume I was looking in the mirror on that last note!      
       But all jokes aside there were personal matters which demanded my    
       immediate and full attention.                                        
                                                                            
       Now, let's discuss the most important factor here and that's the     
       fact that "I'M BACK" with a brand new look, working on brand new     
       ideas and a promise that this newsletter will never be missing       
       this long again.  While it's my feeling that death qualifies as      
       a valid excuse for ones absentism, if I should die, I will send      
       a note of apology.  If the note is hot, please send a SNAPPLE so     
       that I can get naked but I will make all warm deliveries!            
                                                                            
   Congrats to my wonderful parents, Ollie and Alberta Harrison, who        
   celebrated their 50th Anniversary August 25th!                           
                                                                            
   While it's been eons ago, I'd like to take this opportunity to           
   apologize and profusely thank my mother (no thanks to my older           
   sister for such a brilliant idea) for not killing us when we thought     
   it was funny (on April Fools Day) to steam of the bathroom, run out      
   and yell "FIRE"!  [I still lean a little to the left behind that         
   one.]  I'd like to also thank her for not announcing to the world        
   that her wonderful children thought she deserted them upon her           
   journey down two flights of stairs to get the mail!                      
                                                                            
   I'd like to thank my father for understanding that the basketball        
   really did slip out my hand and had a mind of its own when it broke      
   that window and last but not least for not sending my sister to a        
   nuthouse simply because the address of the party she went to didn't      
   exist - SHE FORGOT!                                                      
                                                                            
   Two better parents couldn't exist because I'm still alive to tell        
   share these stories!                                                     
                                                                            
   Ok, enough of this and now it's time for you to hold on because the      
   poetry train is pulling out of the station, so sit back, relax and       
   and enjoy your ride, it should prove to be a fantastic journey!          
                                                                            
   And always remember,                                                     
                                                                            
               "If it isn't Smokin', it ain't Poetry In Motion"!            
                                                                            
   Peace,
