March 2021
Let thy growing hours be strong
to set right some wintry wrong.”
― Caroline May.
Many people in the USA will likely be happy that February is a
short month as weather-wise it really 'packed a wallop' this year. With
record breaking sub-freezing, even sub-zero temps in some locales,
shocking residents and thwarting travelers, it embittered many and will,
no doubt, be a blight in the history books.
"View from My Back Steps" includes one "snow pic" and a
personal record of how the weather affected John I. Blair's usual
activities within his view. Marilyn Carnell presents a humorous tale of
the hazards of politics in her column "Sifoddling Along."
Mattie Lennon, in "Irish Eyes" focuses on the holiday of the
month built around legends about Saint Patrick, then moves quickly into
the future to discus a new book by Richard Kearney. Judy Kroll's column
"On Trek" gives her opinion on how we can use our words more effectvely
for a kinder, gentler world.
Thomas F. O'Neill in "Introspective" delineates the way
cultural dilemnas develop in various lifestyles, and how geography may
play a part. Melinda Cohenour is still mired in relocation difficulties
so we present her wearing a different hat, namely when she served as
guest cook in "Cooking With Leo" a few years ago, as an alternative
"Armchair Genealogy."
Once again "Cooking with Rod" yields to an Encore
Presentation. This time the guest cook of Leo C. Helmer's column is
yours truly with a spicy rendition for Brunch.
Bud Lemire composed "Never Assume" and a remembrance poem titled "Harold." Both have illustrations.
Walt Perryman hs four poems: "My Birthday," "Don't Google
Your Meds," "Passwords," and "Why Do Grown-ups Cry?" John Blair stuck to
one poem for the month, "Blizzard 2021."
"Searching for Answers," "Stand UpTall," and "Live Without,"
come to us from Bruce Clifford. Phillip Hennessy (see pic)sent his poem
for March with the comment it came from personal mistakes in being
'overly generous' and hopes it will serve as good advice when "You Are
Strong" is read.
