The Extra Mile
We were having a good time. I vaguely realized that dinner was slow in coming, but it didn’t really matter. It mattered to our server. She apologized for the delay, made sure that drinks were full and no-one had any unfulfilled needs. For half of our group (11 people from four families) the delay was […]
Lighting Up The Night
It is a Thursday night ritual throughout the summer. Tonight, as I have done the past two Thursdays, I will continue a vacation tradition and join the small crowd gathered near The Pier in Old Orchard Beach, Maine, for the weekly fireworks display.

Images of Sunrise
Up early (as usual) I headed for the beach. This time the sunrise was not obscured by clouds.

Why Punctuation Matters

Tricky Question
This one is a little misleading. I warned you.
Take Me Out To The Ball Game
There are very few things more boring than watching baseball on television. I don’t remember when I last bothered to watch a game. It is about as interesting as watching paint dry. On the other hand, I love live baseball. There is something special about taking in a game on a hot summer afternoon, or […]
