Finding my resolve “Life changes in the instant. The ordinary instant.” – Joan Didion When I first learned I was infertile in the spring of 1996, I thought I could handle it. After all, I had been through tragedy before and come out whole. Tragedy was no stranger to my family.

Later, he went  to Yale and the University of Chicago Law School, onto a successful career and … [Read more...]

Biding my time, resolving to resolve

Howdy. Ready for the longest day of the year? A couple weeks ago I read my horoscope and it said that after Mercury finished being in retrograde, I will receive good news on the 19th—so today’s a big day for me. I’ll keep you posted. I was happy to hear that Kevin Nance, who has contributed photos to Glimpse of Solace, is having a show of his photography this Friday in Lexington, Kentucky.  I bet you’ve read articles by Kevin Nance – his byline appears in the pages of … [Read more...]

Thomas G. Fiffer: Rubicons

Thomas G. Fiffer: Rubicons

Rubicons On my way to work each day, I cross four rivers. Driving to the train station, I slide over the Saugatuck, then follow its course for a mile and a half, observing its marshy banks lined with houses and studded with private docks.
