Horizon

City dwellers can have the world at their feet on the roof.

Threads

Life is a series of threads that you twine together. Unless one stands out, folks look at the twine, not the individual strands.

Unobtainable

Most evenings, the habitues of the Folkie Palace made a noisy march down Grove St. to the Harvard Gardens.

Estates have grounds; the rest of us have yards, lots, gardens, woods, and such. It's been since grad school that I had someone mention caring for the grounds.

Life Boat

It's interesting to note what sort of prejudices people dispose of in need or acquire in leisure.

Hair

The Operating Room supervisor said no. My girlfriend said yes.

Furious

Life is not always lived at a furious pace. The conductor turns the page, and the moderate pace of an andante begins.

Proficient

Periodically carving becomes a fad and not a cheap one.

TOW

I love to watch the inexperienced motor out of the river mouth and into the ocean.
