I like this time of year yet know what we’re in for. Rain, rain and some snow will come. I stopped in at my favorite little gift shop, full of country crafted items and was smacked in the face by autumnal splendor. I said to the owner, who is a great gal, “My gosh, it looks like Fall threw up in here.” Thankfully, she and her clerk laughed. They know. They did it all; breathe in the odor of cinnamon and other spices all day and are surrounded by the black trees with pumpkin ornaments, witches flying through the air and autumns burnt umber and yellow splendor. I was struck by and had to buy a small sign that read, “If The Broom Fits, Ride It.” Don’t you love it? I know there are many times in my ...

Things could go swell for another 40 years, at which time I’ll be buried by any remaining friends. Or they could blow up in my face and trim my life back by a few decades. My body is no longer resilient to careless experiments. That’s for sure. At almost 40, I do indeed suffer the consequences of an extra shot of espresso, two nights of interrupted sleep, or a chocolate binge. The forgiveness and flexibility of my youth has officially gone bye-bye. So I’ve begun to ask myself what the energetic 80-year-olds that swim at the Naval Academy with me are doing differently than the lifeless elderly folks at the senior center I occasionally visit. And, yes, I’ll occasiona...

Abby responds that “If you value your relationship with Simon [the man’s brother], do not reveal his secret.” Ok, but—-my own parents were some of the first people that I called about Charlie being diagnosed with autism. They had a hard time accepting this but have since become Charlie’s biggest fans and—though they live 3000 miles away from us—-visit regularly and are very committed to taking care of Charlie. In fact, they’re the only people that we can leave him overnight with. I understand that different families have their ...
