Kids hear high-pitched sound.
I do not. My ears are old
(like the rest of me).

Thinking of Vermont
and those lovely rocky hills
harboring water.

Shocking but true! I’ll
probably be up all night
working! (Yes, again.)

Fifty-seven days
away–most good–but now I’m
ready to go home.

Anniversary —
Katrina, six years later.
It’s climate change, folks.

Morning starts the same–

Soggy, sodden day —
waiting for the wind to blow
from Irene’s backside.

Shoulder muscles knot —
I twist and turn and stretch and
scrunch to untie knot.

First, violent rain;

A bad travel day.

Watching Irene from
afar–nervous for friends and
family back home.
