BACK IN THE SADDLE

Post-pie reflections on polio

Some post polio-pie-in-the-face reflections:

Time for a timeline?

There may be hope for The Timeline, if my wrists hold out.

He's siding with Alan on this one

No offense, Anthony, but I'm on Alan's side, at the very least for old time's sake.

Keeping track of the race

Sunday was race day, so Anna Sharpe was busy.

Happy to finally tell secret

Some weeks, parenting is a rough storm in heavy seas.

Hats are a symbol

It is Sunday afternoon. I'm worrying about violence half a world away. And I am looking at seven hats.

Poetry can work its magic

The magazine comes every other month, and for some reason it arrives at the newspaper's post office box.

Boat sails from past

If you are my older brother Steve, do not read this column. It contains a birthday surprise.

Memories still flood his mind

As you get older, memory becomes a bit like that closet you know needs to be cleaned out.

Phone call restores perspective

These days, when a storm front is approaching, I can feel it in my knuckles.

Story of the rocks

And then it suddenly struck me, most of these kids hadn’t even been born then.

Pondering the outcome

What did it last? Thirty seconds?

A career cut short?

My career in conservation was even shorter than my career in banking.

Books can be tough to finish

It’s a long way from “Bowser the Hound” to “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.”

A childhood hero remembered

All kids, when they’re growing up, have heroes.
