Working as the sun says goodbye
Sometimes the folks, the weather, the light, reflections
and mood create a time
for just absorbing some of what is going on around us. Late this afternoon was
just one of those times. Here is a story of work as the sun says goodbye.
Mostly without words.

Michael's wife, Tina, was the first to email me. Their son, Joshua
(I think) figured out I gave his dad's name to Jack Foley. Since this
long distance introduction, I've watched Mike and Jack and learned much from
both of them.
