    When we got back from summer camp in ‘69, August was family time. There were two times in the year when we had family time, in August and at Christmas Holidays. That year our Dad had sold his Chevy 2 and so we took the train to Texas and back. Texas was always the same; sleeping under the stars, catching horny toads (horned lizards), eating a lot, playing with cousins. I still hadn’t realized what the move from Montana had meant.As soon as we got back to Chicago things started changing dramatically. There were little communes in many of the major cities in the USA and Canada, and they were sta...7mIone door

    Same Love, Different Feelings

    The elevator door opened. “Hi, baby! How are you?”Daniel, my younger brother, jumped up into my arms. “I’m great; look mommy got me this new t-shirt.’ His blue eyes shone like sapphire stones. “Oh wow! It has superman on it.”“I know right.” he grinned from ear to ear and I heard a throat clear. I looked up. “How is college, Ana?”“It is great mom.

    Diner of Wishes

    Aladdin. The one movie I've watched more than I care to admit. It's just that I find something about that movie so appealing. Three wishes? Like, three wishes! Aladdin has three wishes, and every time I watch that movie it blows my mind that he uses the wishes the way he uses them. He uses them, if I might say, selfishly. If I had a Genie lamp I'd wish for world peace or something, and I know this sounds strange, but it makes me real sad that I even have to wish for that.The world is moving around me, and the "new world" seems to offer a good amount of opportunities, but sometimes I wish that ...7mIone door
