Dishing it Out

  Discover Prompts Day 5: Dish Usually, on a Sunday, I prepare meals and “healthy” snacks for the week.  I work part-time a few towns away, and during the tourist season in SW Florida, the commute at peak hours is a nightmare.

Welcome to My Street

Discover Prompt #4 – Street The street where I live is actually a Circle.  They tell me it’s about one mile all the way around.

Sixty-Three

He would have 63 years old today; instead, he died at 23. It is ironic that a quiet, shy and gentle young man that did not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol would have his life end this way — an innocent victim of a senseless act of violence by an angry man with a gun, … Continue reading Sixty-Three →
