Meeting relatives within walking distance of my paternal ancestors’ bones.
Translation aside, I have no idea what they’re saying… do you?

It came together in a flash of inspiration when I had a list of other things to do…
I felt the urge, desire, to capture a memory, yet my attempts to contain it recalled the circularity of a familiar moment that changes hue.
The sunrise each day—in Hévíz, Hungary—would greet me with
variations on a particular sky view.
Below, two renditions—complete with visuals, words, and links to avian tunes:

The story–originally published in PicFic December 2009–
was recently republished in the new Folded Word Press paperback anthology,
On a Narrow Windowsill: Fiction and Poetry Folded onto Twitter.
Now, the anthology is also available as an e-book, here, here, and here.

Oh Christmas Tree

This is my inflatable tree, courtesy of opera diva Barbara Thorson.
Takes less than 2 minutes to fill it.
Now that end-of-term grades are in,
it’s a quick-n-easy way for me to mark the shift in seasons.
What kind of tree do you have?
Somehow, I’ll bet it’s not like this one.
Feel free to post links to your tree photos in my comment box.
I’d love to see them…

Not sure why, but I didn’t make any resolutions.
Did you?
If you’ve got one you’d like to share, please do.
You might consider this a space to declare your intentions.

Urban Outfitters. Granville St. 2PM.
I wonder:
How much money did they spend?
Will their deals make them happy?

‘Tis the season for shortbread and shopping malls, holiday stress and family tension.
I have visions of geographically dispersed families with members scattered around the globe, doing whatever they can to make it home for the holidays to spend time with relatives and friends.
I see travelers arriving on the doorsteps of (grand)parents and siblings. They bring mountains of gifts (or none at all), too much luggage, and odd habits not apparent during long-distance telephone calls. For several days–weeks even–they pile on top of one another in the tiniest of urban condominiums and compact homes.
Anticipating such an event, a friend of mine writes in a greeting card, overwhelmed: “We’re staying put for Christmas but everyone is coming here. Aaahhhh! Help!” Read the rest of this entry »
