Mom’s Ceremony

On September 28, 2021September 28, 2021 By Eric Peterson1 Comment

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

On September 26, 2021September 26, 2021 By Eric PetersonLeave a comment

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 …

Cape May, Part 3

On September 23, 2021 By Eric Peterson1 Comment

Finally, our last full day in Cape May, we had a day that was closer to the ideal beach vacation day than the others. It was still pretty weird, but nice, too. Leisurely wake-up and clean-up. C decided we should go to breakfast at Uncle Bill's Pancake House, fine with me. We drove over there. …

Cape May, Part 2

We'd known going in that Thursday's forecast was rain all day, so we weren't sure what we were going to do. However, in the morning, it was cloudy and a bit 'spitty', but not really raining. OK. I hung out on the balcony writing and reading while C watched TV, then we went to breakfast …

Cape May, Part 1

Some housekeeping: I've got a ton to blog about, feel like I'm way behind, and haven't been blogging 'enough' anyway. As always, I'm torn between the feeling I'm documenting my life for an Eric Peterson museum no one will ever visit, and the desire to get it down before I forget it. Well, keep on …

The Scattering

On September 9, 2021September 28, 2021 By Eric Peterson1 Comment

So, this is how it's supposed to work. I'm sitting on my hotel balcony with coffee looking out at the ocean. It's a little chilly, very cloudy, supposed to rain today, but the al fresco-y setting to sit and write is what I should always have (in my head, anyway) and don't at home. Anyway... …

Putting Paid to Summer

On September 1, 2021 By Eric PetersonLeave a comment

Lots going on, actually. Two weekends ago (Friday, actually), C and I went up to Beacon, NY to visit our family. Back up, actually, because we'd just been there a month earlier to visit younger niece Allison. But older niece Samantha, with husband and kids and Rusty the dog, were coming in from St. Paul …
