Winter break

We sleep late and do
little. Spend quality time.
Together, enough.

Leap year

February’s haste
to usher in an early
March slowed by one day.

February thaw

Snow releases its
grip as small drops melt merge run
in noisy trickles.

Oceanic Flight 815

Crashed. Met Tailies. Then
Others. Hatch blew up.  Kate caged.
Got Lost about there.

Before Lost season 4 begins

Speed-viewing seasons
one through three’s like life in the
hatch. Push the button.

Chenay Bay – Third day, Christmas eve

Day in Christiansted.
Cool arched walkways, courtyards lined
with stores. Few shoppers.

Chenay Bay display

Wet bathing suits, striped
towels hang from porch rails like
vacation banners.

Chenay Bay – First night

Island band’s Christmas
tunes with a reggae twist our
dinner serenade.

It’s not Christmas without…

Andy Williams. Bing
Crosby. John Lennon. Jose
Feliciano.

Christmas triage

Not enough time for
cookies, cards, decorating.
Which one do I skip?
