I'm still basking in the glow of last night's dinner. I had a dinner at my house for two women friends. We had such a nice time by ourselves with lasagna, salad, cheesecake, wine, flowers, candles, the fireplace and good company. A better time tha...

Unfortunately, there will always be

as I in travels amid the living and dead

when my friends were sent and wondered
what agonies they underwent.
So many, for so long, who knew the reason?
How many families affected and grieving?

The Storm

The storm came on slowly, then progressed to an intense blizzard. The power was out for five hours. I awoke to a world of white in October, a storm that should not happen until January or February. Thus it is in the Adirondacks with its unpredicta...
