Run To
It’s like dead weight being dragged along behind, hindering the Now that has its own trouble enough. How to forgive. How to forget. Must; and yet . . . I think it’s finished, this letting go jazz; but then, all … Continue reading

“Cats in the Cradle” and Other Untruths
Sandy and Harry Chapin wrote a song in the 70s called “Cats in the Cradle,” which told the story of a parent too busy to be involved in his child’s life; then, when the parent is retired and free of … Continue reading

Just in case you didn’t believe my chicken story . . .
Here is proof positive. See the love. This is before they grow up to be idiots and before my vandalism escapade. Gotta love the wardrobe, right. I was stylin’. Cool chick. Pun intended. 🙂
