Supporting KUCI

I post the playlists:

     From my weekly radio show here and there every Sunday evening for those who, unable to listen to the program live from 4PM to 6PM Pacific time at KUCI, 88.9FM in Irvine, CA, want to recreate the experience in the comfort and convenience of their own homes.

     OK, maybe that's not why I do it...

     Still, the radio station's one of those "public service" operations, run mostly by the students at the University of California at Irvine, a category I first fell into 40 years ago. I no longer qualify under that particular rubric, but the station allows a certain number of "community members" to participate, and I've been doing the show on that basis since I snuck off with my M.A. back in 1989.

     And if today was still April 16th, 2024, you could've clicked on the big picture of the record albums along the top of this post. That would've shunted you off to KUCI's section of UCI's E-Giving Site, and there, you could've pitched some money in KUCI's direction.

     If you click now and dig around on the site, though, you can still find ways to send KUCI money, I'm sure. Consider it an adventure!

                                                            Thanks!

A Scent's Assent

He saunters, not a hint of awkwardness About his movements, flowing sweet as fire. Dolores, trying not to stare, selects A protein bar, a heated argument Among her schoolmates raising ruffled fur And growls. The guy's a feline, after all. The student body's ninety-eight percent canine. The whole school's aware. He hears them, Casey does, their yips and all Alive with bitter scents of awkwardness. Remaining smooth, he doesn't look, the fur Beneath his shirt on edge, a tickling fire He knows. It follows matching arguments From other schools his science course selects. Universities should be more universal. "Should" is the key word. In class, Dolores carefully selects A seat in back of Casey, watching all The rest digress, off-topic arguments Concerning species, full of awkwardness. The room of canines almost seems on fire With ears and whiskers folded close to fur. Students of science should be— There's that "should" again. Stupid subjunc

Folks Letting Me Blather

I've known Greta Boris :      For more then five years now but not as many as ten years, I think, ever since she joined the OC Fictionaires, the writing group that I've been a member of for something like twenty years. She writes mostly mystery novels, some of which are pretty funny, some of which are pretty suspenseful, and some of which are pretty much both at the same time. She and another author, Megan Haskell , also run a website called The Author Wheel where they do podcasts and offer writing courses and share their experiences with the wide world of publishing. As they put, "We've made the mistakes so you don't have to!"      As part of their podcast series, they wanted to talk about the value of critique groups, so Greta asked me if I'd be willing to make various noises on that topic. I agreed, and the episode they put together from our conversation, " Staying True to Your Creativity With Mike Payne ," is now available for your
