beyond my control

For reasons beyond my control, we’re not making our annual pilgrimage to the east coast for Thanksgiving. I’ve been hearing from my sister and her family how much they’ll miss us.   And while I’m sure they mean it,   there will be benefits to our absence.  Mostly financial——without me and Daniel around,  they only need to […]

status report

Like most people, when I think of the sixties I’m thinking of the 1960’s.  Sure hope my sixties will be as exciting as that. The decade started quietly.  V was asleep.  I stayed up till 3 a.m. wasting time working. The first voice of the decade: Alli’s.   I was still asleep when she called on her way […]
