Snow Sculpture
Years ago, I used to make snow sculptures. At the peak, our house would get a line of cars to see what I made. One year my work was featured in the local newspaper. My kids were my muse. They inspired me. I loved to see their reactions to what I made. I would make Continue reading

M&Ms
I don’t eat much candy anymore, but I still enjoy M&Ms, partly because it’s chocolate and partly because I have good memories associated with them. When I was a kid, my uncle would keep a big jar of M&Ms on the china cabinet, which he loved to share after dinner. He would hand them out Continue reading

Carrots
I have reached the age where some foods are wrong to eat. I can’t blindly consume as I please without consequences. The spicey foods I used to love, give me indigestion. Even modest portions of cheese plugs me up. Greasy pizza (once my favorite) does the opposite. Coffee after noon keeps me awake all night. I Continue reading

Bright Fame
Names are a paradox. Should I act specific ways to live up to my name and when I don’t have I failed? “Robert” can mean many things, but I have attached myself to the meaning: “bright fame.” I can look to De Niro, Duvall or Kennedy, as proof, or the many others. I personally like Continue reading
