Well how do you like that? Today turns out full with promise of a lovely day. We really didn’t have a lot of rain but the green growing things have been refreshed. The maple outside my window is smiling, dancing in light breeze and the sweltering air has been blown elsewhere. We, too can beginContinue reading “August 3, 2020”

I have to change up the chair I am sitting in. I worry that the amount of time I am spending in the chair will collapse the stuffing and flatten it’s curve. Excuse me for a moment. I just changed and I was right, the stuffing needs a break. The different chair has it’s seatContinue reading “July 24, 2020”

I got a good start on today in spite of myself. The bathroom scale screamed at me but I set that aside and got busy with a day’s work. First and most important, a chat with a friend, then a basic breakfast and a sit down in front of my new form of typewriter. IContinue reading “July 22, 2020”

Are we going to have a fabulous day today, or what? I jumped out of bed after an hour of listening to the radio, then overwatered the Sahara dry plant, got a towel, cleaned up the mess, put on my clothes to take out the garbage… and… I was too late. The truck had comeContinue reading “July 21, 2020”

Worry Rip Van Plumber’s Crack (Winkle) was out today.  That is a certain sign of spring. He wears very little clothing so cannot long endure the cold weather.  I don’t know where he goes during the dark months.  Maybe he has a little house somewhere, similar to the little house I built for Msr. P.Continue reading “March 10, 2020”

Changes I dropped by the bulk food store to get some supplies for baking.  I have cut back on spending and needed bread supplies, bread being much cheaper to make yourself than to buy.  I can do about four loaves for the price of one.  A deal.  Against the wishes of Shell oil and others,Continue reading “March 6, 2020”

Bad people. On my route back and forth, in and out, I saw two police vans pull up to a house. It was 7 o’clock in the morning.  Two women stood outside the house, pointing toward an open door.  Curious situation, eh?  I imagined all sorts of things and it got me thinking about people.  BadContinue reading “March 4, 2020”

It is closing in on my brother’s 66th birthday.  He is the baby of the family, last one out.  My mother and other siblings remain irascible as ever but my dad is gone. I think we are a little unusual in that we have made it this far without losing more than one of ourContinue reading “March 3, 2020”

Must every day be a new beginning?  I guess and suppose that is why earth is round, the sun is round. I think the trick is to leave a little of the broken up space dust behind and let it collect into some sort of alien planet, a rock dragging somewhere far behind you. TakeContinue reading “March 2, 2020”

It is leap year, so I will leap. That’s what you do, I hear. I have been trying to leap into a new life on my own. I am almost certain that I have done, maybe a little. I had to turn my back on the past thirty years. It is over, people are deadContinue reading “February 29, 2020”
