Mary Oliver this time
from her book of poems called A Thousand Mornings Don’t you dare climb that tree or even try, they said, or you will be sent away to the hospital of the very foolish, if not the other one. And I ...

was pretty miserable. It was too private and too self-pitying to put here. So I guess I should try to write an entry. Or not. It’s a minute before 7 am and I’m still in bed. It’s the last Su...

Well. It’s getting to be the end of the day. In fact it’s almost 9:30 pm and I’m just getting here. It’s been a funny day - not bad, maybe even on the edge of good. I woke up in the middle of the...
The two left standing
I liked this...
poem by W.G. Sebald (1944-2001) in the October 10, 2011 issue of the New Yorker October Heat Wave From the flyover the leads down to the Holland Tunnel I saw the red disc of the sun rising over ...
Monday Morning in the Rain
I only have a few minutes. I had more time but the internet did not come up. So I went back to bed with a very dense Mary McCarthy biography. It’s raining pretty hard. Noisy and windy. The ...
Does anyone remember this?
The calf died...
… but the vet had wisdom .. and consolation. Three things you can’t have too much of: love money penicillin And if you have too much of the first two, you might need the third.
Water, close to home
Mothers and children
This one was only a few hours old.
I feel like writing.
Or do I? It’s hard to tell sometimes. I really have nothing to say.... except I want to say something. I could come up with various trivia. Yeah, I could. For some reason the so-called fact ...
Funny mood
I should be asleep. Obviously I’m not. I’m lonely. Not bad lonely. Just mildly lonely. I’m not even sure what would make me feel better. I don’t know what I want. I want something though. Eithe...
Three Day Weekend...
After working every Friday and Saturday in March, it’s nice to have Fridays off in April. There is something luxurious in three days in a row off work. When things work out well, you have time...
Waylon at 3 am
Bad train movies, etc.
Last Sunday, Easter, Jim took me to Reno Bottoms. It was a cool, breezy day and it was pleasant to be outside and moving. The place itself was exquisite, but it always is. We walked all the wa...
Seven Bellows in a row...
More than most book stores and a lot of libraries. Bellow has the advantage of being close to the beginning of the alphabet and thus sort of rises to the top of my book collection. It’s Saturday...
Testing 1, 2, 2.5...
This is another of those irritating tests. But ProseBox passed it. The editing window now expands as I type in it. Yesterday it was stuck at two lines high. So I’m glad it’s better. We all have o...
Another survey, another impulse...
DO YOU LIVE IN A HOUSE OR AN APARTMENT? House - 2 story plus basement. Oldest part dates to before 1895 and newest part was added soon after the end of WWI. It’s an old farm house and hasn’t be...
What's going on?
I only have one line to type on. Is that how it is? Did I reset something by accident? Oh heck.
Survey, an impulse ...
When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thing you thought? I need to do something to/with my hair. How much cash do you have on you? Five or ten bucks. What’s a wor...
The third man...
Zither music The movie
Tuesday - new policy
I think the daily entries are over for a while. I like the discipline of writing every day. But I guess I’ve had enough for a while. I let my 750 words streak go too. They keep track of you ...
Saturday - Sparkling Water
The thing about time is that it keeps going. That is a blessing and a curse. I am almost a week older than I was when I took this picture. The river has thawed a March week’s worth since I t...
Friday - Window Shopping
The stuffed huskie suffered from too much reflection. The flowers weren’t real, were they? Weekend is approaching. We are having company - I’m pretty sure. Girl Scout cookies may be involved....
Thursday - String of Pearls
No one has mentioned the missing weather info. In spite of that, here it is. At 4 am, temp 36, wind 2 mph from the SE, humidity 74%. Our snow is mostly gone, we now have mud, which is to be ex...

Just a few words that don’t mean anything.
