  • A Sunday Stroll: my latest .@ImageCurve #haibun

    During the Giant game, a tease of a drive turns into a route. One I missed while at the Res with family. Sitting on a rock overlooking the reservoir.

  • PSA: Pathogenic problems

    So, about yesterday… The virus began last week. I had a sore throat, coughing and a cold sore by the week. I left work early Monday, and I convalesced at home yesterday.

  • One Week Down: my latest .@ImageCurve #haibun

    It’s the end of the first full week, and I rest in the chaise. Mira lies next to me, her sunglasses giving her that Jackie Kennedy Onassis impression.
