A Diamond experience (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our weather of late proves the truth of the axiom, "Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it." This past summer was hot and dry in our neck of the woods. Summertime conditions were so sizzling that an expectoration would evaporate before it could reach the ground. Thanks to modern technology, we all have access to weather radars on our smartphones. This proved to be a form of torture. The radar would display a rain cloud, plump and heavy with moisture, headed our way and our hopes wou

Read excerpt
Our old neighbor Al Warnes had a knack for malapropisms that were unintentionally amusing. For instance, "transplant" always came out as "replant" as in, "She got a kidney replant." And "rummage sale" was unfailingly pronounced as "rubbish sale." That last turn of phrase contains a tiny nugget of truth. My wife and I have been doing some antiquing lately.

Washington, 9th Div., FPO New York, NY." My father, Leonard, joined the Navy in 1943 at age 17. I never asked Dad what motivated him. Dad didn't share much about his war experiences. That was the way of his generation, but I think he was also shielding his children from the horrors he had witnessed. He told us that d
Can’t control vanishment powers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was about 6 years old when I discovered that I have an extraordinary talent for making things disappear. I owned a Barlow jackknife that had both a long blade and a short blade. This meant that I was prepared for anything from fending off a ferocious tiger to cleaning my fingernails. That pocketknife was my constant companion.
