Coward’s wish
The darkening Comes Whether We will Have it or not. Beckons us To come along Brushes light Aside with right And falls More quickly Than we ever Think It will. In night, then, Every wish A prayer For conscience deep, Or Hamlet’s sleep. Mary Catherine Coolidge copyright 2010
Smooth moves at the Sarasota County Fair
Hey, has anyone seen the Bird/Magic documentary on HBO? It’s so interesting.

You all know how much I appreciated and miss (even still) our wonderful Sarasota News & Books (if you missed my column lamenting its departure, you can read it here at “Life Without Books is Death“. I miss SN&B not just as a bookstore, but as a community meeting place, and well, just a place […]
