Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

Bought our home 31 yrs ago this week, and the same week, a neighbor threw out this table, which I garbage picked and had refurbished. A couple weeks ago he commented that he has nothing left of his parents & regrets it. So tonight, for his 65th birthday, I giving him back his father’s nightstand!

Bragging and laughing that under his wrist is the pulse, and under his ribs the heart of the people,
