With a beautiful smile
It seems wrong, just wrong, what some people
do to get attention. And I am an expert in these
things. So you'd better listen to me or else . . .
well, really, there are no consequences.
Lately it's been all of the days marching
forward into the enevitability of Thanksgiving
in a couple of weeks. And that will be a long
drive to a cold place to sleep on a hard bed
in a stuffy Summer room in Autumn. the
smell of old ant spray will be heavy in the
air. I must remember to bring my HEPA air
filter.
I get accused af always writing the story.
I write the story of this one and that one
and how they drove to such and such place
and had a meal and a couple of beers or
something else and take a walk on a long
path near a gorge or up a mountainside
or beside a lake out in a boat with
horizons of Addirondack Sunset warm in the
summer evening. But it hasn't been that
for me in a while. I'm here in Massachusetts.
No big lake sunsets here.
I do get a good small lake sunset here. The
Addirondack Sunset (from Vermont) really
is the most supurb kind for me. You get
that faraway twilight glow along the horizon.
It's awesome. So it will be good to go and
see it.
If you go up to Grand Isle make sure, if
you're coming from the south and along US Route 2,
that you stop at the sandbar cause way half way
from Milton to Grand Isle. Stop there and realize
that you are in the middle of the lake.
Then you can drive up to the ferry, leave the
car, take a round trip ferry ride. If you time it
right you will get to see the very famous and
always beautiful Adirondack Sunset.
Look for my short story by the same name.

The Right Column Season of Wither
I took you along
on my walk to my
place
by the
lake.
Why did you have to
destroy all the
stones on the
beach
looking for
fossils?
That day, an ancient
memory is ossified
and tossed aside.
On which beach
at some future time
will they find it
as a fossil?
Do you even
remember
that
day?
