The friendship rolls on this Sunday, as I continue to look back at past editions of Supporting Friends Friday (read last week’s here).  Introducing the (nearly) weekly feature has been a real joy, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite of my regularly recurring series.

The three installments featured this Sunday are a bit of a mixed-bag, unlike last week’s heavily musical selection.  We’ve got a professor and her book of poetry; an organization dedicated to helping bull terriers; and another musician buddy of mine:

• “Supporting Friends Friday: Review of Rachel Fulton Brown and Dragon Common Room‘s Centrism Games” – Perhaps the first book of poetry written by a Telegram chat, Rachel Fulton Brown and Dragon Common Room‘s Centrism Games: A Modern Dunciad is a must-read.  It’s currently only $4.19 on Amazon (as of the time of this writing), which is criminally low.  The book is comprised of seven poems, which constitute a mock-epic narrative, modeled after Alexander Pope’s satirical epic The Dunciad.  Whereas Pope’s Dunciad mocked the goddess “Dulness” and her agents, Centrism Games lampoons the goddess Fama—Fame—and her o’er eager knights.  Trust me, it’s awesome.
• “Supporting Friends Friday: The Bull Terrier Rescue Mission” – I dedicated this post to the wonderful folks at the The Bull Terrier Rescue Mission, Inc., who brought old Murphy Girl into my life (consider making a donation to them).  They’re a really stellar organization, and have been immensely helpful as I’ve figured out how to share my living space with a sweet, occasionally ornery old bull terrier.  They pay 100% of veterinarian bills for their fosters (I’m in the process of foster-to-adopting Murphy now), which ain’t cheap, so they really need—and deserve!—all the support they can get.
• “Supporting Friends Friday: The Music of John Pickett” – John is a great friend of mine, and we’re beginning rehearsals for the 2021 Spooktacular this week.  This post also offers up a brief history of the local open mic scene in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina over the last ten years, which should be of interest to musical types.

Well, that’s it for another Lazy Sunday.  Thank you for being a friend!

Happy Sunday!
