90 percent of my writing is drivel—this putting pen to paper is the calisthenics I’ve been doing since I discovered the sport about 20 years ago. But here's the thing, I think some of it is really good.

If I feel something when I write, isn’t there a chance someone else will too? Frost famously said no tears for the writer, no tears for the reader. But, the truth is no writing has universal appeal.

My ‘maginings are stories I’ve conjured up from whole cloth…or from fairy dust. I don’t actually know where they come from.

My musings are reflections on things I bump into, like my reaction to contracting for our cremations. Crazytown!

I’ve also recorded a couple selections of other people’s writing, including those of my daughter and mother. Apple tree: trunk, branches, and fruit are we.

Enjoy!
