The Mountain’s High
I thought the final long drives where I rented a hotel room and stayed away in Gracie were the trips that closed out the ‘very good year’ of 2025. I thought I had made enough of an effort to reconcile and say goodbye to Mendocino, Humboldt and Lake Counties as the march of time brought … Continue reading The Mountain’s High
What’s Easy For Two…
"Isn't it romantic?" I find myself saying that to myself almost exclusively. The sentiment I've perhaps schooled myself on the most is something that I keep close to me, if not exactly private. It's been more theoretical rather than practiced than I'd like to admit. It's another 'Valentine's' season but it's another year I sit … Continue reading What’s Easy For Two…

I've traveled and seen some very breathtakingly, heartbreakingly beautiful parts of the world that are viable to see within the limits I find myself in society. I've eaten some delicious food. I've … Continue reading IS That All There IS…
Strike
I hope, honestly, as life changes, and there's evidence of such, I'm not hurting anyone's feelings. The truth is, movement in any direction prompts a shift out of comfort. I am. There's the reality that I'm saying I'm giving up on a place, full of people that wince with understanding of the intersecting reasons why. … Continue reading Strike
This Bitter Earth
We were ambling down some country road in and around Elverson in Joey's RAV4. The conversation burbled and bumbled in directions only two Geminis in their 40's could do. The bucolic stillness of Chester County, Pennsylvania distracting me as we whizzed by. While my mind drifted into the landscape as we drove to go get … Continue reading This Bitter Earth
