Suspense to the very last second
As it’s a new month, here on a small island in Greece, locals pay electric, water and phone bills through the local post office. Up a flight of steps, in back of the “agora” or market, is the small Post Office. Since budget cuts, there is only one woman behind the counter doing all –(…)
Still waiting. But tomorrow might be THE day.

Until then, my impatience wiggles like a captured(…)

Returned yesterday to deluge of rain, so garden and final harvest of tiny tomatoes must wait until the departure of the airport car at 4 a.m. tomorrow morning. BUT … a paste-up of the(…)
