BACK IN THE SADDLE

Travels included odd musical mix

“Who put this mix together?” asked my wife.

Remembering Thanksgiving over the years

Thanksgiving is a day for family memories.

Weekend was busy with wife away

I don’t do nothing well. That’s not really a double negative. What I don’t excel at is doing “nothing.”

Poet's powerful words still endure

A poet died last week, a guy you’ve probably never heard of.
