I don’t believe in ghosts. This is not a ghost story. However. Early one summer morning while living in Texas in ’93,  I was awakened by the sound of the phone ringing.  It was my mom who lived in Florida.  She sounded  upset. “I had a dream about Steve last night,” she said.   Steve […]

Yesterday was a difficult day. There I sat.  Blah with the blues. You know the feeling.  Funky feeling that’s hard to shake.
