Two days ago, maybe?
The only good thing about humidity is it makes your skin look absolutely fabulous. All of that moisture.
Otherwise, it is a misery, but the beauty is, summer only lasts for two months around here.
The forest that is our lot is so old, the leaves are really too big to fully understand when [...]

There was a rabbit. He was running around in Koreatown, Los Angeles, where I was teaching English as as Second Language.
It was July 9th, ten months after my father, Bill Mahan, died. July 9th happened to be Bill’s birthday.
I saw all of the students, of every level, yelling in their native language and running around [...]
