Dream
My father left me no clear legacy. He retreated from himself and succumbed to drinking. My experience with him had been mostly a cloud with a few bright spots, notably fishing. I think about his influence because I wish I had a powerful legacy from him, footsteps to follow. I spent much of my early… Continue reading

Aches and Pains
I grew up loving the cold weather. My family had a retail sports shop and were big skiers. Some of my best memories are going on winter trips with my aunt and uncle. When my kids were old enough, we had loads of fun in the snow. I would make huge snow slides or forts.… Continue reading

Can’t Go Wrong
Fruits are always good. Apples, but not just any variety: Mcintosh; Strawberries, I’ve not been able to get them to grow well in my yard; ripe Nectarines and Peaches, I grew up on Peach dumplings; Mango and Papaya; Bananas, I hope they don’t go extinct. Continue reading

Twenty Pounds
Losing weight is hard. I know I have to. I tell myself this is the year I’m dropping the extra weight. My doctor said I could get off some of my medications if I lost the weight. But old habits are hard to break. I love sweets and ice cream. It’s ironic, when I was… Continue reading
