Thanksgiving

Today I got a call from Sam who was in Central Park. It made me think of how much I enjoy being there. When I went looking for my photos of Central Park on the computer I realized that most of them are on film. There were a few digital ones from the time Rica and I were there a couple of years ago. It is a wonderful place to have coffee and a pastry with a friend. Enough said.

Moved and Adjusting

Rothko and I have moved from our house of 11 years to an apartment in the same neighborhood.

I thought I would never do this sort of thing in this blog but I am just seeing if I can get used to accessing it with a new computer.

Starting soon there will be poetry and images on a regular basis. Hopefully there will be other pleasant surprises as well.

This kitchen is smaller than the foyer in the house we moved from.
This will eventually be a living room.
Everything is a jumble and will be for a while. Going from a large house to a small apartment is a challenge. We will do it.

Here's to the future.

July Short

The song
of your sisters
unnoticed absence
(escaping beauty)
sounds like
the poem
you wrote you
(my pretty)
