I have a new topic index. The tornado that hit Elmwood in June has consumed most of my time on this site.
Latest Post: The American Dream -- is there still an American Dream?
I have put stories about Marriage, Family, and trips on one topic. I have Elmwood Recovery priorities in another. In a separate index I have essays about the Tornado, Elmwood, and the recovery effort. I have Political Opinions and essays in a fourth topic, and lastly I have my Football essays.
I hope to continue improving each collection of stories and essays. I was going to write about a trip to Springfield as a family trip, it is close less than two hours. The Ecumenical Singers had performed at the Abraham Lincoln Museum on June 5th, day of Strawberry Festival, and day of tornado. I got home about 5 PM, tornado came through just before 8 PM, haven't found time, yet.
I invite you to submit your own stories on Elmwood, the tornado, or something you want to share.
A New Life Begins was an essay begun and not finished after my father died.

View from my parents porch; the phrase flat land never more true.
