Escaped Thoughts

I am a thinker, a ponderer, one who dabbles in the written word. Nothing published. Nothing fancy. Just thoughts. People often ask me why I don't try to get published. I don't know.

My Mother's Wit and Wisdom
Over the years I have wanted to write something about my life with my mother. This is the start of what will probably never amount to anything.

The Final Days is a piece I wrote while sitting at my dying father's bedside. My father approached death with the utmost dignity and grace. Watching him during those final days brought many thoughts to my mind. The Final Days is one of those pieces.

No Credit ... No Blame is a piece celebrating my daughter, Sarah Reznikov Stroud, as her school celebrates her becoming one of the top four best teachers in Alabama! The energy of the students is magical!
