Spring cleaning windows
a paw print from last summer
fractures the sunlight

How quickly the years slip past. Gone but never forgotten, old mate.

Oh my. I’m sorry, have you gotten a new dog since? When I interviewed you a couple years back I remember you telling me you’d run w/ your dog, then stop to jot ideas down & he hated it that you stopped. I’m doing okay. Done work work for a few weeks other than checking in. Now to bake, finish Christmas shopping, & catch up with some writing I hope. How are you? How’s your writing going? I do recall you had some chapbooks/novels in process? Do you do the Christmas shopping or is that your lovely wife? 😉
