I can’t believe my good luck. Check this out: Yes! These are molehills. Real molehills! I am so excited! This is what they look like close up: Can you believe it? I mean how often does the Universe pitch you one right through the strike zone like this?  Will you or will you not, turn […]

Parting Words: Unusual

,9:45 am

Yesterday I found myself sitting at a small table at Quiznos in Palm Beach International Airport, grounded while a violent thunderstorm raged outside.

The Windsurfer Stays

,1:47 am

In the upper recesses of our garage, an ancient windsurfer presides. It rests on the top shelf, tucked behind the leaf blower, an old bicycle tire, and tiny ski boots we’re holding onto for the grandkids. I think the grandkids may have actually outgrown the boots by now, but never mind. Project for another day. […]
