The sun is setting here in that spectacular way it has of doing here in the mountains. The turkey dinner has been cooked and eaten. Thank goodness I don´t have to do that for another year. The R.H. drove me crazy obsessing about it all day. What t...

It occurred to me today that I have an astonishing lack of nostalgia for my past. I wonder why that is.

Death and Dying

Another friend has died, carried off by cancer and despair.
