An old locomotive engineer drinking deeply from the boulevardier of broken dreams, if not drinking really good coffee.

Travel, write, walk barefoot on grass in sunlight, read, paint, dream, even if you’re old. Remember the miracle of being alive.
As a former stray dog myself, my favorite scene from any movie:

“Hey Pop, you want a shock? - I think you’re a great guy…ahem-you hear that. Annie!?——-“I heard it, it’s about time one of you lunkheads said it!”.

Let us be kinder to one another.

My last work, completed during my last furlough. “The end of the graveyard”. The crew of a “midnight goat” on the old Milwaukee road late March, 1941. Everything still brown and grey, but the first warm breeze of spring. New hire, old field hand, old engineer asleep in the sun. Lived it.
