This afternoon I was transported to a foreign country.  We were at a mall near Boston and I inadvertently wandered into a store with a name I had never seen before.  Walking down a dark hallway I entered an even darker world filled with tables...

We had two of the most precious little red squirrels in our backyard.  They were beautiful little animals.  Unfortunately in addition to being lovely they were too smart.  They figured out how to eat out of our "squirrel proof" bird feeder.  It was amazing to...

Just before highway I-84 crosses from Connecticut into Massachusetts there is a wonderful restaurant that gives away free books.  While one waits for one's food one can browse the shelves and select up to three free books. Rarely do I find three worth carrying home...

Late this afternoon I found myself standing beside our local academy (high school) principal.  I could not help but notice his extremely short haircut. His head was about 3/16th of an inch away from being shaved.  My mind rushed back fifty years to my student...
