The Flowers in My Hood
Sunday July 10, 2022 Today at the lake…I didn’t go to the lake. I took a walk. My first walk since surgery. I walked a block and back. Actually, it was two half blocks, but whatever. It was excruciatingly slow because I’m not putting full weight into my leg yet. I plant the walker, then READ MORE

Where am I?
Today at the lake it was dark and a bit ominous. I ran into two women from the swim club on their way out of the lake; they couldn’t have had less interested in talking to me. M thinks they were just preoccupied, but I feel like at least one of them just doesn’t want READ MORE
