This guy followed me around in Adventureland. I love Disney World, but there was a bittersweet feeling. Maria and I fled there last year when we were going through hard times and were feeling a bit shunned, as happens when people go through hard times and  people seem to vanish, something I see all the time in hospice work. I think it’s time to move on. New kind of vacation, different places. Time to say goodbye to a number of things in my life that connected with Disney World, some good and some bad.

We are thinking of different places to go next time. Maybe Costa Rica.

But still, it is always fascinating to me. I must have walked a hundred miles, and enjoyed each mile.

Notes. This Thursday, March 4, Mary Kellogg will read from her new book of poetry “Whistling Woman” at the Red Fox Bookstore in Glens Falls, N.Y. I will be there. Izzy too. New notecards are going up at Redux Gallery. Maria has a new line of dog fabric and when she went to work today, I snuck out and photographed them. Will put them up later. I missed the blog. I will soon have to face this idea of selling the farm. It’s going to be Spring, despite the scene outside, and people are nibbling around. I am eager to finish my book of short stories, then do a book about dogs and dreams for children. I am excited about the publication this fall of “Rose In A Storm” which seems a long way off, but which will be here in a flash.

Time moves quickly. Make use of it.
