SPA SPASTIC SPA-SHTICK
Today I noticed that the ex-granite shop has a new shingle, QTicle. Is that another spa, or salon, or parlor? I haven’t got the definitions nailed down yet.
I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!
My parents’ friend Sid came to visit us for a couple of days sometime around 1970, a year after we bought our home in Shorewood. He immediately asked me, “Why don’t you have a garden?”
WHY DAYS DISAPPEAR
Tuesday’s heat wave passed without the predicted violent storms. So on Wednesday I awakened at 7 AM to do what nature didn’t, water, water, water the garden!
ARE WE OLDTIMERS YET?
I'm always aware of impermanence, never expect good things to last. I'm sure it didn't occur to me at the first Earth Poets performance in 1988 that we'd still be performing together in 2011. Every year I look backwards in amazement. I'm so delighted to be a member of the troupe that no matter what's happening in my life, I've never missed a performance.
