I'm a teacher and coach who never took the time to take that big step as a writer. Life goes by so fast, so risks must be taken!

The 1980 Porch
People say that memories come back more easily with scents and sounds, than any other senses. I believe that this must be true. Sugar cookies, baking bread, cigar smoke...there are so many. Sometimes as I age, I realize that I have forgotten memories that have been jogged from time to time from a sudden scent in the air or a familiar sound. I cringe when I think of what my children or grandchildren will remember once I'm gone. I hope it isn't burnt cookies or laundry detergent.

The $50 Mystery Box
“Hey, did you ever order that mystery box from Blitzmall?” Sybil asked me as she dropped her lunch bag on the cafeteria table. She had already started on her peanut butter sandwich. It had sounded like she said, “Dicheweberorerdatmythryx (swallow) from Blitzmall,” but I knew what she meant. We had talked about the box for two weeks.
