A TALE OF THE ITZY BITZY SPIDER I was astounded yesterday to discover the spider in my driveway, the one that built a twelve foot span between two hedges, is still at work (Blog 8/17). I had to cut through the web a 4th time in a week. After a couple of days of not finding one, I thou

AN OLD DOG HOWLS It’s almost a month away, but I can feel autumn in the air. Mostly the reminder comes in the form of magazines chock full of information about sending youngsters back to school. Advertisers are busy too. I guess they’re hoping for an uptick in sales as parents thi

A TEACHER CALLED HUMOR I love James Thurber. “My Life and Hard Times” is one of the funniest books I’ve ever read. In fact, Heart Land is set in Ohio as a subtle tribute to the author. I’ve read Thurber’s book several times and still can’t get through the pages w
