Transcendental Pizza
It was the day of the family reunion, back in the summer of 1984, and we were having a picnic on the village green. Everyone had shown up; all the uncles and aunts, all the cousins, grandma and grandpa, everyone. It was absolutely marvelous. I love those big Italian get-togethers, they’re full of laughs and lots of food, and in my family everyone brings a specialty dish. My uncle Antonio had told me, in his conspiratorial way, that instead of www.onedoor.ccbringing a lasagna or something, he had planned a special surprise for the picnic; one that he knew I would like.

Dreams of Yesterday
Al and I stood on Deck 11 aboard the Celebrity Millennium cruise ship. This beautiful vessel had been our home for the past seven days. The air was crisp and cold and a wispy layer of fog surrounded us. We were in the final days of our Alaskan adventure at sea. This was a trip that had been on our bucket list for over forty years. Back in the early days of our marriage we talked about traveling. We would wait a few years to start a family so we could jet off into the sunset. We’d pack our bags and be spontaneous. We’d see the world before settling into parenthood. This was our Plan “A”....
