The squirrels knock their cones together, releasing seeds for supper. Species grew apart first in separate worlds, then later together Warming each other in winter, fanning their armpits with gre...
Listening to a Woody Allen interview. He just gave advice and I forgot it immediately. But since I’m writing here, I’ll go back and listen again. Ah, here it is. “Don’t think about it....
Yesterday was so glorious I walked my five and a half mile loop right after sunrise. First time in years I’ve done that. And poor crippled up lumpy dog Gracie followed me all the way to the o...
I'm doing something evil, and I promise I will quit soon
The horse wore a crisp van dyke beard, had clear dark eyes, and a sense of caper. I will cater to him with lush second crop alfalfa. This is the time when everything that eats green is looki...
How’s the world treating you? Any plans? Not really. Every day you’re away. Our pathways have parted. To your memory I’m true. Are you lonesome without me? Great lyrics ---- I’ve had nothing b...
I’ve never eaten smelt. I saw a sign for a smelt fry yesterday but wasn’t tempted to stop. Perhaps had my heart not been so fleet for a Fayze’s omelet, I would have given smelt a chance. I’m...

Three non-solicitation phone calls today - so far
None were for me but I did manage two conversations before turning the phone over to Jim. For the record - Jim’s high school friend Rich, local Democrat woman with detail of county convention, a...

Longer one this time
It’s 3:15 am. Plenty of time to do pretty much anything. So far I’ve made coffee, done a puzzle of collectible Czech dolls, dealt with the dog and put off Wordle. Any of you into Wordle? =...
I take a lot of pills. I'm not unhappy about it.
I went a lot of years taking none. They aren’t expensive and I don’t have any trouble remembering to take them. I have a discovery though that I like. The pharmacy takes back the empty contai...

Countless
39,420,000 Thirty nine million, four hundred and twenty thousand minutes. That’s my life, rounded off. I got the idea from the short story in my second New Yorker, the one with the blue cover wit...
Sometimes
Anita Scudder has a new name now. She’s remarried and we can hope and assume she is happy. We assume she is a decent person because she married our hero and after they were divorced she didn’t ...

September's 1st grocery trip
There - I know I had you on tippy toes of expectation. Well, I went to Fareway, my local store, and I spent $111, and I will write the number on the calendar. Trip was remarkable perhaps as ...
