September 2025
The September you chose to accept:
the best thing you could do was to let August fall behind you,
and with an open heart embrace this new day that lies before you.”
– Morgan Harper Nichols
The first of the "ber" months has arrived - September. This marks
the beginning of Regular Season Professional Football. First on my list
to like this month which heralds cooler temperatures an usually
heartier meals. More reasons to welcome the first true Fall month. Does
Daylight Saving change this ninth period of the year? Need to check
that out, I guess.
The main thing I like about September indoors is reading and
that's where our writers step up. Bruce Clifford was the first to send a
poem, "Matters To Me." Minstrel Dave Sterenchock who hasn't been
submitting his poetry for awhile as he stays busy doing Renaissance
Fairs and various musical get togethers and events. His other well known
nick is GuitarDave which may be how you know him, or his poem "Sinking
Ship." He sent "Cupid" and "Angel Wings" for this issue.
John Blair's poems this time are"Raccoon Breakfast," "Mirror
Image, and "Cross Country." Bud Lemire's poems are "Cryptocurrency" and
"They Aren't What They Seem." The longest poem we have published is by
one of my sisters, Jacquie MacGibbon whose birthday was the first of
this month. She titled it simply "The Trek."
Walt Perryman's poetry ranges from serious to light humor.
Both are included for us with "Dogs," "A Thinking Disorder," and "To
Forgive."
Our columnists have entertaining reading prepared with Mattie
Lennon's "Irish Eyes" as he reaches back to the past to inform us on
Irish culture. Marilyn Carnell however, has very recent events in her
"Sifoddling Along." Judith Kroll discusses feelings in light of recent
news in her column "On Trek."
Thomas F. O'Neill's "Introspective" shares an inspiring
tale.Pauline Evanosky's column "Woo Woo" is about Manifesting and a few
how's and not's to consider.
"Armchair Genealogy" features some background by its author
Melinda Cohenour. She is also chairing the "Cooking with Rod's Family"
and includes three tasty recipes .
Thanking my co-founder and webmaster who keeps things online
for pencilstubs Can't do without you, my dear friend. Hoping that our
photo problem is soon solved. I know your busy Christmas season will be
here soon. Thank you again, Mike.
See you in October!
