Descent My father drummed darkness Through the underbrush Until lightning struck I take after him Clouds crowd the sky Around me as I run Downhill on a high– I am my motherÃs son Born long ago In the stormÃs eye Samuel Menashe I talked to my sister yesterday. The conversation’s theme the same as it […]
The books from the burro train arrived today at the Miller black hole depository. Normally, this could be found written inside ever cover, but would you lookey here.——-> What could this mean?
Flo up and about on her walker. Brian has joined Peter in Evansville. He called me yesterday while struggling to find the parents’ house on Bellemeade. I was outside cutting the grass. I wouldÃve told him getting lost is part of the arrival ritual. I usually drive down route 41, past their street, then I […]

Can’t you ligthen up?” Does it get any cheerier than these photos taken at dinner last night? Though it looks like a comic book illustation viewed with 3-D glasses, be sure to […]
Noland’s brother,Noland, and friends.
I stopped by New England Life Care, a nursing home/rehab facility, not unlike Rivercrest, to see my buddy, Noland. This was my third visit. His bed was made, his chair, brought from home, empty. I had a present for him. “I’m looking for Noland. Is he is at rehab?” The nurse looked at me and […]

Diane’s Lebanese born car salesman had convinced her to buy language tapes to improve her French (doesn’t that sound like something that […]
