Well, folks, as you can see, I am posting this on the evening of Thursday, May 18, 2023, from my little corner of the Tampa Bay area. Usually, I post early in the day – between late morning and early afternoon when I’m not working on a project, or as early as possible in the…

Hi there, Dear Reader. It’s late afternoon here in Lithia, Florida, on Monday, May 15, 2023.

Well, folks, it’s afternoon here in my corner of Lithia, Florida, on Saturday, May 13, 2023. I’ve been awake since just a bit after six in the morning; I had hoped to sleep till, oh, maybe seven, but I think the days of waking up later than six are gone, at least for me. I’m…

On Writing and Storytelling: Today Was an OK Day to Write….

Our Bench in Central Park
We met by chance on a winter day You played the piano and stole my heart away We walked and talked and laughed and kissed We found a bench and made a wish You read the words of ancient lore You taught me what it means to live for more You held my hand and…
