For thirty years, I was the teacher in a classroom. It was an experience I would never give up and I hope I made a difference for those students, but underneath the apple crusted desk, I was always a writer, an observer and a student of human behavior and responses. My imagination tends to fly in a million directions and it takes a cage to keep it focused.

It is a vicious cycle. ”You aren’t going to sort it?”…

Now I am not referring to the shed skin of a snake, or the mouse evidence left in the closet, or the single sock with no apparent mate left in this world. No, I am referring to the shaved ice machine that had somehow jumped ship in the last move, or the knife that two moves ago had disappeared. The discoveries…
Read MoreBecause we have recently lived in small spaces, when we moved into this house, we decided to split the storage between my office and the spare room. That means those rooms are jammed with all types of miscellaneous items, holding twice or three times the contents of every other room. This time Shawn’s tools were in with the laundry, making them more accessible. The best laid plans always have a…
