An old lady lives in a house up the streetfrom Grandma’s. It is one of my favoriteplaces to go in the whole world. It is likenothing else I have ever seen in my life. There is an old screened-in buildingin the middle of the grassy lawn,right next to the large circle of red liliesthat grows…
A headline in the Guardian today: “Just 32% of Americans say Trump has right priorities, new poll finds, ahead of State of the Union speech.” Who are these people and what the HELL are they drinking? “Right Priorities” — really? Peace. Kevin
It seems like if I didn’t have my mobile phone, I would not be able to do so many things that, in the past, I could manage to do without assistance. There is more, but you get the idea. It seems like I would be lost without my phone, and I’m not sure I am…

I’m taking three classes — not just free ones, but real ones that cost money. The first is a self-study course in poetry that I may have mentioned before. I am taking too…
No CVS. No Target. No factory outlets. We do have a combinationAce Hardware/Pharmacy, if you can believe that. We do have a few good restaurants, a ski resort, and even a Starbucks. It costs $5 to see a movie. So, life isn’t grim. However, when I NEED something, and there isn’t a place to get…
