told us--we didn't believe him. he began sharing photos...bears in his bathtub, tigers at the dinner table etc., the fantastical stories were true! at 80, scuba-ed & motorcycled. at 84, drove a u-haul cross-country...said he was going home to die.
I know. my OB readers are going to raise an outcry! Why didn't I mention this about him?! Or that about him? Or the fact that he crashed the u-haul into my front porch before he drove across country & it took a crane to remove it? All I can say is that this is the hardest one yet to limit to 40 words...and I'm even cheating by leaving you all this comment! :^)And by not counting the numbers in the actual entry. Someday, I'll write something more encompassing of turtle man mike, i promise. xo, dawna
As you pass 100 entries, it is only now dawning on me how entirely challenging this whole project must be in every way. I love it. I will continue to love it for the next 263 posts and beyond.
I'm a cook. And I write, sometimes about food, mostly poems. I make stuff. I get lost. I'm worried about vanishing bees, melting icecaps, the decrease of civility in the world, seedless watermelons, and whether there will be enough time for me to get it all right.
