My best friend – I’ll call him Curt Peter – and I had planned on moving to Alaska and working on fishing boats when we graduated from high school. Not only were we going to work on the fishing boats, but we would also have lots of adventures in general. We didn’t do this. I […]

Do I look like Judy Blume? To those of you who do not know the Judester, many a female growing up in the 1970s and 80s can rattle off the books that they read and re-read and passed along to girlfriends with dogged ears (the books, not the girls – as far as I know). […]

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of ….. 5. My son Hoyt is my little buddy. Not the kind of buddy like when parents are friends with their children (there’s time enough for that when he’s 18 onward). Right […]

But before I could get in there, I went through all the rigorous testing of the “pre-garten” during kindergarten registration. I was at that stage of my life in 1969.
