So that night after everybody has gotten settled in everybody comes in to our condo to have a Fourth of July dinner and to watch the fireworks that would be coming off the pier. The night begins and people start walking in ready to eat. The food isn’t quite ready to eat so we all sit on the couch watching tv or sitting up at the table talking. Tired of waiting around bored a few of us start a game of euchre‚ just the first of many for this trip.

I’ve seen it all. The horrible facsimile of reality we live in is beginning to break down. Things aren’t right. I’ve seen things. Things that make me question my sanity. A recent trip to the grocery store turned into a Lovecraftian nightmare. I usually have to go to three different grocery stores because crème fraîche is impossible to find in this land of abundance and my fancy French cookbook calls for it in nearly every recipe.

The Cattle Barn It’s a small lot on our farm‚ with white and red tin siding that many people overlook. It’s right next to the voluminous silver towers of our mill. It’s a place where many lessons are learned and see many “joys and discomforts” of agricultural life all throughout the year. Starting in the middle of December all the way to the beginning of July is where I get to watch my project grow and develop. As soon as the herd sees me stumbling down the hill‚ they race to the gate and acknowledge

Ideal Vacation My family had always looked forward to leaving the valley during the torrid summer months. You see I never really had an actual vacation‚ since my father had been gone for eight long‚ dreadful years. He was sent away to a prison thousands of miles away‚ in Florida‚ when I was only six years old. My loving mother talked about ancient vacations we took‚ but I was too young to remember. My father was back home and he was as healthy as a young doctor. It was now summer of 2010‚ and I

playoff basketball in the history of the N.B.A. The love of basketball runs deep within me‚ not just with the sport but for all the other characteristics that it brings. I appreciate how it demonstrates that being a part of a team is crucial. How some people can be leaders and some will have to be role players.

Being a dot on a globe‚ two separate islands on a map‚ and a small population‚ Fiji is surrounded with grains of sand and salty water. The beach was my playground. Precious memories were left behind when I had to move to a different country with my family‚ but the beach was a place never to be forgotten. The beach is my home where I explored‚ learned‚ and relaxed; it swept up my childhood to the shores as each tide pushes

well in picking up. There are paper cups surrounding the trashcan and scattered across the floor. When I start to walk around‚ my cleats scratch the pavement and make a nose as irritating as nails on a chalk board. This noise seems to bother other people more than it bothers me.

As I take my first step onto the field I can feel the dirt grinding against my metal cleats
