Ok - I'm definitely losing it............. Indar, my comments just above were meant for you, for your sweet and painful poem.
I got confused, I think, because of Gyppo's touching comments.
Hope you are well.

Re: Reflection on Father's day
Ah Gyppo - this is so sweet and melancholy, yet joyful, tender and warmly telling it as it is. Allows the reader to easily immerse into the moment and the scene, and reflect. Yes, the wonder of family, few words needed.

Re: Red or dead.
It looks like the Great Bear and the Yellow Peril have decided over the last several years that they've had enough of the West dictating the rules and setting the table, pushing "defensive" missiles to their borders and invasions and regime changes everywhere.................... It will not be pret...

Re: Music
This is awesome, Colm. Everything Linda says, and more. If you have a soul and occasionally acknowledge it, then you know music, you hear music. There is music in everything if we chose to hear it, to listen. Sitting under my apple trees I hear a flute. Love the phrase "violin extraordinary and...

Re: Distraught
Yes, as has been said many times: shit happens. On occasion I'll put my cup off coffee in the fridge to reheat it... or I'll put the cream away in the microwave............... My best was when I was heading back home from my farm and stopped at the gas station some 25 miles away to fill up, only t...
