• And Then They Were Married

  It hadn’t been planned this way. It wasn’t the dream; it was spontaneous and hurried. And totally wonderful. Two sweet friends got married in our backyard Saturday night. The coming together of two people so completely in love and amazingly right for each other that it was a gift to be part of it. We…

• The Long And Short Of Life

  At first glance, it looked like a scene from Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds”. Instead of seagulls and crows filling the picture, it was a flock of turkey vultures. Not my favorite winged animal. They are present in Florida year-round, Seeing them reminds folks that something dead is around. They’re carrion birds. Eating things already dead.…

• When Life Is Inside Out

  John was in a hurry, as he often is these days. Part of the job and life in general.

He calls me the most unobservant person…

• A Dark And Cloudy Night

  There are many places where I’m not afraid to walk alone at night. Around our neighborhood in Florida, the streets are often quiet, the problems seem few and far between, and even the city noises aren’t blaring and obvious. We’re far enough from the ambient light of Orlando that we often have the chance to…
