Voice of America has just published a profile on Robert Bly. I have written of his appearences at the Dodge Festival. I have posted a couple of his poems. This is a good bit of background on his life and works.
Enjoy!

Pulp, Peas, Casseroles
Orange juice with pulp. I bought it at the food store for the first time in a long while. The girls growing up did not like pulp in their juice. But they are out of the house now, so we (Dolores & I) can have the kind of juice we want.
The girls did not like peas so we had broccoli, green beans, carrots, cauliflower and salad. A good variety. But peas are now back in the house and made the chicken pot pie taste real good.
Casseroles, food mixed together did not happen too often. The girls did like lasagna but that doesn't quite qualify as a casserole does it?
Anyway, there are just a few of the little things that have changed now that we are an 'empty nest' (at least until the holidays).
They are little things. We did not make a big deal of it. We still had juice, we still had vegetables, we still had good solid healthy meals. The girls are healthy and doing well in school so we can revert to some of the "old ways" we used to do things as a couple before kids.
Did you make any changes like this for your kids?
Updated - Another one was meatloaf, I just remembered. Of course, it helped to have it for supper tonight.

Revs - Post Game
Coaches - Steve Nicol easily out coached Peter Nowak. The Revs started 4-4-2 but DC was making in roads so they switched to the 3-5-2 they had played most of the season, shifting Riley outside. This immediately settled the Revs. The back 3 (Heaps, Parkhurst, and John) resorted to the strong defense they played all year.
Nowak got the team off to a great start earlier this season but then they staggered into the finish winning only two games after the All-Star break. They also had a poor finish last year due to the Ado incident. Both of these finishes can be laid at the feet of the coach. They get to go home early to think about what they need to differently next year.
One stat touted that the Revs had used something like 19 different players in 26 different starting lineups this year. Injuries and national team duties played a big part in driving this stat but the consistency of the overall program is a credit to Nicol and his assistant, Paul Mariner. They created an environment for the players to succeed no matter who was on the field. Getting to the conference championship 5 times in a row, and now to the MLS Finals for the 3rd time, 2nd in a row.
The players need to execute but it starts with the coach and the leadership provided. The Revs are succeeding due to Steve Nicol and Paul Mariner.
Way to go Revs!
