We had the stone, the sand, the ballast, the cement, the lumber, and a growing case of building fever. So we set to it and in three work days raised a modest 6’x6’x6′ water tower of babel. Despite of the fact that the mutually unintelligible chattering was limited to just…...

I woke about 5:30, rolled around a little, got up, cut a lemon in half, squeezed it into a glass of water and eased into a morning routine and the three things that give me a decent shot at making sense of the day and the days. I read, a…...
