That's Life (and Death and Laughs)
A cabaret, a carnival, etc — that's what the songs say LIfe is.
I love Frank SInatra, and his fabulous rendition of "That's Life". Click title and have a listen.
"I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king/ I've been up and down and over and out, and I know one thing/ Each time I find myself flat on my face/ I pick myself up and get back in the race."
And here is July and plenty is shakin'.
A ride on a carousel. (New video and music.)


And a new short story.

Who’s Asking?
A big thank you to everyone who reads and clicks and comments and especially writes me sweet personal notes.
You make the creation of the work that much more rewarding.
Love to hear from you.
