You didn't read any poetry in April.
You are doing great on 4 and 7.
How does one go to the bathroom in space?
I'm suck a slacker when it comes to poetry. I've had great intentions - especially for Leaves of Grass, which I bought almost a decade ago and *still* haven't finished - but no follow-through.
Going to the bathroom in space, not surprisingly, is more difficult for women than it is for men. But for all participants it requires a great deal of suction. Also patience. I should write up a review of that book, because it's actually pretty cool.
