in an irish bar
with
halloween decorations
costumes
beverages
irish music
good company
excited fans
and
a win!
one is deep and strong
one is light and not
(perhaps an irish sign ?)

act.
yesterday
i went to the official opening
of the local headquarters
for
my choice of candidates
for the office of
the next
president of the united states of america.
when i pulled into the parking lot
there was not a space to be had
there was a torrential downpour of rain
yet people of all ages
were waiting
and
pouring out of the door
and
once i walked into the room
there was
so much enthusiasm
and
so full of hope
and
postive thinking
it was overwhelming
i’m excited to say that
tomorrow i’ll begin helping them
to try to make it all happen in november.

do nothing.
skipping stones, barefoot, wading,
walking on rocks, talking, and resting
on a slow summer day on the river.

pie.
j. leach
local english teacher and writer
has launched
a wonderful new business in my town called,
‘why not pie?’
it’s a virtual bakery
where she
creates homemade pies
each week
for pickup or delivery.
she’ll try most any flavor you request
using locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
this is really a win-win situation in my eyes
and i can’t wait to try one.
or more.
