• Watsontown, PA

  “How’d you find Watsontown?” asked one of my 111 high school classmates after Stoic and I ended up there as we drove home from Niagara Falls last month. She, incidentally, is among the handful of us who didn’t stay there after graduation. Well, as a vaudeville comic might say, with great difficulty. I think because…

• Stoic the Vast and Dora the Explorer; Tomato-cornbread salad

  Here’s the thing: A whole lot of stuff does not matter once you get past, say, the quarter-century mark.

• Puppy poop

  It’s hard to fault a day in which a kitty shares her lunch chipmunk. Even a day when the air is like wet bread. Puppy and I walked 2.5 20-minute miles this morning. For her, that’s not even stretching her paws. For me, it’s faster than lightning, and I was soaked at the end of…
