    I found a pen on the floor of a coffee shop this morning. I’m a believer in signs, and it seems to me that this was clearly a sign. As if someone was saying all right, you have the pen, now I’ll give you something to write about… Later, high noon at the Ridges…on one of the first glorious spring days, a friend and I head down Deer Lick Trail, eastward between swales, trekking through the pages of time. A large sun dog says rain is coming, but for now it’s warm and clear.
