Stevenson: Summer
In winter I get up at night, And dress by yellow candle-light. In summer quite the other way I have to go to bed by day. -Robert Louis Stevenson Related Posts:No Related Posts

- Dan Savage
First Time I Saw a Turtle
It was tangled in my great-grandfather’s drift net off the southern coast of Molokai. It had died in the net, most likely drowned during the night. I remember crying because the turtle was dead, and my great-grandfather consoling me that they were not going to waste it.
Longfellow : Change
If spring came but once a century instead of once a year, or burst forth with the sound of an earthquake and not in silence, what wonder and expectation there would be in all the hearts to behold the miraculous change. – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Related Posts:No Related Posts

Online Education
There just one more week until the Fall Semester begins. This is the first time when all of my classes will be online. I’ve done a few online classes before, but only one or two at a time. I now have five online classes. It’s a big step from having to attend classes and limiting [...]

Today my brother called and said that my father had returned home. He has been in prison for the last, I don’t know, five years. The last time I saw him was in 2005 when he was temporarily housed at the federal penitentiary on Oahu. He looked different, I suppose everyone looks different if you [...]
