Diane and Dan joined ( I know, those companion fees …) Flo and me for RickÃs June recital. TÃwas better than May, with a larger crowd (not just by three, Susan), and IÃm convinced had he a more elastic audience, there would have been a standing ovation. Among others, Rick played Strauss, BeethovenÃs “Rage Over […]

Two more from Adam’s party: Is it my imagination or is Mark about to bend over and kiss me on lips? The romantic moment passes. Why am I thinking of another man on my own twentieth wedding anniversary? ****************** IÃm waiting for Diane to fill out an accident report before we go off to DanielaÃs […]

Last night we all went to the Sushi House to celebrate my birthday. Five couples sitting around a half-sunken square table in a small room, eating raw fish (among other not-so-raw dishes), and laughing, a lot. And not only at MarkÃs presents; to Adam, a walking, nodding giraffe; for me, a flying boar. Yes, Diane […]
“Mike, before you go, I have something to talk to you about.” The dining room, the kitchen and bath, they were all done, and I had but a few tools to collect when Noland stopped me. “Loretta, you go in the kitchen or play in traffic, whatever you want.” I didn’t know what was coming, […]

Mine IÃm not slighting any of my past surprise birthday parties (thanks to adorable Diane), but Monday nightÃs was the best. Sitting at our dinner table, forcing down my favorite fish dish – Baked Schrod under parchment paper with Bok Choy […]
Mark Queijo As usual there are so many sagas leading up to and surrounding the surgery, but I promised to keep this short. 7:30AM we arrived at Heywood hospital in Gardner MA for the pre-surgery check in. The surgery was scheduled for 9:00. Why they needed me in so early is a mystery, although I […]
Matt, Joe and Robby left our yard Sunday afternoon, blue canoe carried aloft, gunwales riding on their shoulders . Assuring me there was a stream but fifty yards down the railroad tracks, I laughed as they passed the bushes in front of our house bobbing down the sidewalk like a huge Portugese Man-of-War. But water […]
