• It’s Complicated, Floey. But Kindness is what matters.

  “Floey, you’re barking so loud I can’t think. What’s wrong?” “Don’t you see him, Mom? Look. Across the pond. A stranger is walking along our trail. What do you think he’s up to? He doesn’t belong here!” “Oh, I see him. That must be the trapper our neighbor Tom told me about.” “What??? A trapper!…

• Back to School – Adventures of a Former English Teacher

  

  Forty-five years ago I graduated from college as a freshly minted English teacher-to-be.  All I had to do to start teaching was find a job. Back in 1970, teaching jobs were not plentiful, but there were some to be found if you looked hard enough. I decided to look in New England. I guess I…

The other two books of Macomber’s that I’ve read recently are One Perfect Word (about the idea of having one special word for the year rather…

• Awful August – except for …

  Does it ever seem like your world is shattered? That life is suddenly broken? For some of my family members, that’s what August has been like this year. I guess I would describe August 2014 along two tracks of events. One track is affecting my broadly extended family. The other track is affecting Mim and…

• Another Talk with Abbey

  Late Sunday morning, after I got home from church, I was sitting in the La-Z-Boy in my office reading the newspaper. Abbey came up to me and sat down. I could tell by the look on her face that she wanted to talk. She started by asking me about church. “Mom, how did the music…
