Squirrelly fun
I may be stuck at my computer … but the squirrel outside is having fun trying to break into the bird feeder.
Sunday night … football, film, and fun
So, yesterday I had a bit of unscheduled fun. I was invited to round out a dinner party for eight given in honor of a visiting out-of-towner, John Goberman, executive producer of “Live from Lincoln Center.” It was a lovely, erudite crowd, with a conversational focus on classical music.

Crows
In the dark The crows assemble Unhunching shoulders With glossy shrugs, Beaks sussing out Some unwelcome things Among them.

A little bit of slapstick
So, yesterday, my brother came in to town for a quick visit to see our Mum. Of course, it AMAZES me — when he walks through the door of the hospital room it’s like a combo of George Clooney, mile-high chocolate cake, and Jesus has rolled into one has waltzed on air into the room […]
Mojo rehab
After a dismal last week through Friday, then, came Saturday. A friend, another writer in town, called and asked if I wanted to go on a walk. I jumped at the opportunity, despite my sloth-like mentality and went to meet her. We walked, and laughed, and swapped horror stories about clients and writing projects and […]
