The Chest

Before the puppies were weaned correctly, she and a retriever named Max ran off together for buoyant fun in a neighbors pond.
Random
A conversation on the nature of life took place in the waterfront workshop of a lobsterman I knew many years ago.
Nautical
I lived a good chunk of my early life among men who'd made their living at sea. It tends to leave an impression on you.
Garden
When I landed my first actual professional job after grad school, it was not a berth for a practicing ( applied) anthropologist. I had to bend, twist, spindle, and mutilate it into one.
