  • What I Have Learned

    Fellow traveler is a pretty good hat. What have I learned? I have learned that I have a lot to learn.

  • Itch

    I woke up with an itch on my back this morning just under my right should blade. I couldn’t get to it. I reached for whatever tools might assist me as I adjusted myself to see my clock. It read: 2:13 A.M.
