• Heat, Humidity or Humble Happiness?

  It was 110 degrees when we arrived. We’re in southern California for business, and I wasn’t ready for this. Having just left the high heat and ridiculous humidity of Orlando, the Palm Springs’ sauna experience took my breath away. I went from moist with shades of green to dry with variations on brown.

• The Papa Experience

  It’s a challenge for youngsters who have two people they care about named the same. Particularly when you don’t see either very frequently. It’s confusing to put faces with where they’re from, whom they belong to and how each shows up differently. Papas can be such a problem. Having the chance to visit our son […]

We’d made a niche for ourselves in Santa Rosa. A pattern. We rested. Walked. Read. Hiked. […]

• When The Sun Is Obscured By Darkness

    I’ve lived in Mickeyville a good while. We’ve kidded about Orlando being just that since we moved here. The City Beautiful. Vacation destination. The escape plan for many snowbirds. Our newspaper refers to us now as part of the fraternity of U.S. cities who’ve experienced terrorism. Not a moniker any city wants to claim. […]
