It was a hot summer afternoon in 1963-everything in sight seemed to be bleached pale by the sun. I&#8217;d been playing near her flowers and somehow managed to get myself stung by a bee. Seeking comfort, I ran onto the wide front porch and Maudie was the first adult I found. She was sitting in [...]]]></description>

In the six months I&#8217;ve been riding the bus I&#8217;ve sat up front only twice.  But for some unknown reason, this morning I chose to do just that.  On a near-empty bus,  I took a bench seat about 3 places back.

Our dog Parker is an old soul. When he looks at you, his eyes speak of depth, kindness and limitless, gentle, patience. Not wisdom mind you, he has little of that.

But his simple love is stunning.

In his novel &#8216;Galapagos&#8216;, Kurt Vonnegut imagined a world in which humans had devolved themselves into sea going mammals. [...]]]></description>
