The Day America Would Fall

After yesterday’s huge Hands-Off rallies at cities and towns all over the country (and world), it seems like hope might be possible again. This song reflects my sentiments of a day before yesterday. Hope it doesn’t come true.

I Never Thought I’d See the Day America Would Fall

Morning Song for Sammy

This is a new wake-up song for my little grandson in Australia! My voice is all but gone, so I can’t sing it quite right, but Sammy and his folks can sing along and nobody will notice.

Why Mountain Breakfast?

Well, many years ago, before computers and the internet, I wrote a short story about a man who carried an enormous length of garden hose up a mountain with the goal of starting a siphon to run water from a lake to his cabin below. His only friend, a water attorney (?!?!), warned him that stealing water could get him in a lot of trouble. But, undeterred by this cautionary advice, he proceeded to climb to the lake and start the siphon. Meanwhile, his friend cooked breakfast in the cabin below. By the time the hose was hooked up, his friend had set fire to the kitchen and lost control of his wits. Just when it looked like the cabin would be burned to ashes, the hose began blasting water, and he was able to save the house. This was the first of several short-short stories in a series that I called Mountain Breakfast, in which each tale involved cooking or eating breakfast in the wild. It was all about humans, all about nature, and all about human nature. I’m still at it, still hiking and thinking and writing tales, although they’re longer now, and not about eating breakfast.
