Gary, thank you.

You're not writing erotica here. You're documenting hunger. There's a difference. Keep bleeding this truth.

thank you for seeing this George. it is an important distinction and i think it gets lost in translation with some... the good news is I couldn't stop writing this even if I wanted to.

We lived in Frederick for 26 years, raised the boys there. Moving back to east coast next year, to Connecticut.

what is the draw to connecticut? I've never been there now that i think about it, but i remember when i was younger it seemed like a mythical place to me - my mom's first love and one of her dearest friends lived there

Our families are all east coast and Laurie's dad is there, at 91. Living on top of a mountain, off grid, burning wood for heat, collecting rain/snow off the roof for water is really a younger man games. We found this land 20 years ago, took me 9 years to build the cabin. No running water when we moved here, plow snow for 7-8 months, yeah it's time, I'll be 66 when we move and I'm ready to let down my guard and live a less vigilant life.

my that is a lot of plowing. i do remember a photograph you posted of an astounding amount of wood, but didn’t realize you were collecting your own water, too. well, i am excited for you to have the luxury of central heat and water that magically appears through the tap!

It's been wonderful but it is no place to age, no country for old men, plain and simple. That's why we boogie off to Mexico until March. We always knew the clock was ticking fast. Our old son is 34 been married for 6 years. They want to start a family and we want to be "nearby" when they do.

I often imagine the universe as a great infinite yearning - the way that longing, hunger is what moves everything - but I hadn't considered until now the wonderfully feminine quality of that yearning
