Sunday Inventory

The soldier in the space next to me is on a 12 hour Family Guy marathon. Soldiers watching cartoons. What ever happened to Sands of Iwo Jima and John Wayne?


What is right with life:

Sting of Pearls by Glen Miller.

Being on any trout stream at dawn or dusk.

Floating feeling the first release of pine in the air. The first expelled breath of spring.

Having Matisse’s watercolors in my head.

The entire medical staff at Craig Joint Command Hospital at Bagram Air Base.

Being with my girl Laura anytime anywhere.

Italian food and Michael Chierello recipes.

Montana anytime any season.

William Faulkner for showing me how to read in between the lines.

Shelby Foote for writing our Iliad.

John Steinbeck for understanding the underdog.

Freddie Hubbard for playing notes that have stuck with me for 40 years.

Antonio Carlos Jobim where there is love there is hope.
