I am not a writer


I gave up becoming a writer a long time ago. I'm at peace with that now. I've accepted that my writing skills are mediocre at best. I'll never write "the great American novel" nor the most profound poem of our times. My sharpest skills are non-verbal, I think. Kudos to those who can put words to thoughts and express them in clean sentences and paragraphs and craft a story.
I am savoring the last days of summer and enjoying the cooler misty mornings as we head toward fall, and I hope to catch a glimpse of the more exotic wildlife spreading into the restored wetland and stream ecosystem of Nine Mile Run. I am hopeful.

  1. It's nice that when I can't get down to the park, you bring the park to me. :)
