fotos: finishing out 2011…
December 30, 2011
I took down the tree yesterday and now that corner of the room is empty again. Praise God. While I love the look of a Christmas tree it begins to encroach on my space starved psyche after a couple of weeks. It doesn’t help that no matter what my intention I end up killing it […]
Year without a Santa Claus…
December 26, 2011
I broke my middle son’s heart on Christmas day. It was an accident, a rookie mistake. At 9 years old he’s a savvy fellow, using words larger than his life span should allow. At the same time his most prized gift this Christmas was a joke hand buzzer. He shouted with joy, I mean, shouted […]
winter solstice…
December 21, 2011
Tonight being the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year I thought long and hard about what to write.

December 13, 2011
It’s poetry Tuesday and of course I’m playing favorites. I do that. Ask anyone. It isn’t that I am not open to new poets. It’s more that I’m fighting hard against the oncoming avalanche that appears to eat up Advent every single year. As much as I hope to sit safely, high up in the […]
all about the storm…
December 12, 2011
This monday morning finds me in an unexpectedly contemplative place or it could be that my coffee is simply not doing its job well enough. One more mug and I’ll be as impatient and disquieted as ever I expect. But while I’m here, sitting in this relative peace I thought I’d type up some thoughts. […]
