This morning, I awoke at 10 AM.  I dressed quickly, styled my hair in pigtails, and set off. Passed a bright pink tree in bloom.  Touched the petals lightly, as I would a pet dog. Arrived at thrift store #1,...

I wonder how many times you can do the same thing before you lose your mind, or before someone notices. For two days, I have been walking the same road, thinking, looking.  I move past signs and billboards and enterprise. ...
