Excerpt
Glancing through the sliding glass doors in the family room, I see our skillfully adept, undersized tortoiseshell ally cat on the back porch, waiting at the door. “Hey Hussy, ‘you hungry?” She makes her way to the food bowl while I slide the door closed behind her. As I turn around, I’m looking at my favorite maple rocking chair, which I refinished, my first attempt at upholstering several years back. The deep blue velvet-like fabric with thin gold diamonds was now being used as a cat-scratch. Such is life. How did my parents survive our rambunctious childhood years?
Broken, shattered, dinged and dented, stained, burned, and torn keepsakes, all the collateral damage. The electronic equipment is nestled inside an armoire. I return to the couch to finish my breakfast, now cold, and turn on the cable soundscapes station.
