Followup to The Scattering Once the boat was anchored, we shared reminiscences and stories. My brother had written a piece, which he shared, but I will not, as it was very personal. (He might want to share it himself.) But there were also poems and photos and a song shared. My aunt read Do Not …

I Celebrate the Me Yet to Come
Oh, hey, this looks different, don't it? Yep. Yesterday was my birthday and I decided to push the Saturday chores to Sunday, take the day off and do webpage stuff. I'd wanted to combine my mostly unused website The Toast Point Page and my blog into one site, plus point to my old blog and …

Putting Paid to Summer
Lots going on, actually. Two weekends ago (Friday, actually), C and I went up to Beacon, NY to visit our family.
