Return to Arundel
On Saturday, November, 26, 2016, I finished reading Anthony Doerr’s 2004 novel About Grace. This novel was the 24th book I’d read in 2016. The author won a Pulitzer prize for his 2014 novel, All the Light We Cannot See, … Continue reading

Something’s Not Right
Sometimes I type fast. Most of the time, actually. But my netbook is old and slow and I’ve not successfully replaced it with something better. It acts up, it slows down. I keep typing fast. Sometimes, the great eyes of … Continue reading
Counting Candles
Handy’s father, Marcel, turns 98 today. We celebrated his birthday yesterday; five of Handy’s six siblings were there. (His youngest brother lives in California and couldn’t make it.) Marcel was born just after the first world war ended, he joined … Continue reading

Vintage Voters
I worked my first presidential election on Tuesday. It was a long day; my fellow poll workers and I arrived at 6:15 a.m. and stayed until the town clerk transmitted the final vote counts to state election officials at 11:45 … Continue reading
Be Gone!
There is a story in Greek mythology of a king. King Augeas was famous for his stables full of cattle. You might say he was the “cattle baron” of his mythological time. Oddly enough, for a king with a wealth … Continue reading
The X of Time
In January of this year, one of my “resolutions” was to read twice as much as I read in 2015. It wouldn’t be hard, really, since I only read 12 books in 2015. But reading requires time; there is an … Continue reading
