Wet Snow
As I made my way around town this morning, I marveled with the kids at the spectacle of the winter wonderland we passed through. The limbs all around us, bending low, to display their burden in beautiful form. Trees bowed to the Creator, silent and still, in reverence to the One that giveth and taketh away. The fresh coat of white, wet snow, with barely a hint of breeze, made for a postcard Continue Reading...
Night Lights in NH
I am a family man living in southern New Hampshire, USA. I live where I live, and in the middle of the night, without venturing from home, I see what I see. I gaze at the night sky from just north of the 43rd parallel. But on night's like last night, the forecast was special. Rated a 6 out of 10, or a 'high'. And the map showed that I would be well above the viewing line of the north horizon. Continue Reading...
Funeral
I climbed the hill on foot, but it wasn't much of a rise. For some reason though, my feet didn't want to go. It just felt like I was walking through both, the sands of time, and quicksand all at once. Imagine making strides just to make them, but wishing not to take a single step.

Is there no lucidity in a month of moments ensuring one can share the pain? A luminary is gone, one who would, in time, opponents' favor to gain. Who has sight to see the symptoms on society before they leave yet for school? Call it as I see it, Continue Reading...

On My Mind and More
Well, sometimes I look at Facebook, and I respond literally to the question: "What's on your mind?" Today I had a whole slew of answers, some of which I verbalized into the empty room surrounding me. Mostly they were superficial and not predicated on anything too important. Continue Reading...
1st Grade: First Day 2016
As Jacqueline said to me this morning while tieing her own sneakers, "Well Dad, I guess we are officially first-graders now." Yes you are. And off to school they go, beginning the 2016-17 school year. Time will again race by, but this moment we enjoy, and capture, only to look back on it and wonder where the time went. They couldn't wait to get on the bus. Theodore told me last night, "Dad I am Continue Reading...
