Editor's Corner

By Mary E. Adair

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 .
