Working, Part Deux

For this week, bring in a first paragraph or two (half a page) of a Sunday Journal-esque article (see last  week's post for links) from the St. Pete Times on the theme of "work"/ "working."  Pretty simple.  Give it a shot.  See you this Thursday (1/28) at 7:00.

It's the work, the work, it's just the working life...

Happy New Year, AWGOWCers.  We'll be meeting for the first time this year on January 14th at 7 in the Wiregrass Barnes and Noble.  In an effort to kick start the year and perhaps the economy, we're going to write essayistic proems about a job you have had or currently do have.  As the boss says, we're writing about the working life. 

In addition to these two videos up here from the man himself, (two great poems in their own right) I'm posting two links to the wonderful Sunday Journal section of the St. Pete Times.  Enjoy and see you next Thursday.
