Time to laugh a little bit. And goodness knows, computer dating requires a sense of humor. Doesn’t everything?
Truth
This was a piece in last fall’s show–Big Words. How many hats these big words wear. They are still changing on me. Find it also in print.

Friendship
Well, an inventory of Big Words has to mention Friendship, doesn’t it? It’s a word that gets richer for me.I’m grateful for wonderful friends.
Father
Father was one of the first Big Words I took on and I’ve been at it for almost two years on and off. It’s a big big word and it’s been a valuable contemplation. If you remember the earlier post you’ll know this has changed quite a bit.
Inky Learning
All nighters weren’t just a college fad for me. I learned to learn in the quiet of the night. Lot’s of these concepts shift a bit as we grow older. Nobody warned us…or did they?

…a person of integrity and honor. Wading further into computer dating.
Divorce
It seems like a common word until it starts to describe your life.
Portland
When I fell from marriage, home,
bland feats of life-as-I’d-known-it,
coupled-into some twenty-plus years ago,
suddenly everything was a question again.
What is? What isn’t?
All my assumptions broke into pieces:
sharp; slithery; and none-too-shiny.
Portland spoke through my ticklish in-step.
She pressed into the soles of my feet with
rose-and-tumble acceptance,
as I skirted puddles known and unknown.
Restless possiblity swayed along my sides
while Portland steadied my stride—“It’s ok.”
Who knew that asphalt could be a tender touch,
that this patient, old-friend town of mine
would roll out padding and take me easy,
while the stuffing in my head blew ‘round
many cups of coffee: many thanks, Portland.
Subway
I love the subterranean world of the subway.
