Ticka moved into a new house over the Labor Day weekend. She’s already made it a home. I love these items in her kitchen.

Oscar Nomination
Interviewer: “Congratulations on your Oscar nomination. Tell us about the inspiration for your newest movie, Adrift in the Sea of Life.”
Tina: “I was looking for my son and found him wearing an old diving helmet. He was moving around slowly, as his vision was limited and the helmet was heavy. He couldn’t hear me, either. I thought, We all go through life as if we were wearing a diving helmet.
I tapped him on the shoulder. He fell backwards, he was so scared! I knew then I had a story about life.
[Tina laughs so hard she can’t talk.]

Things Change
“Are you sure there’s water under there?”
“Unless someone filled it in, that’s the pond where I used to swim.”
“Dude, you swam in that?”
“I swam there, yes. In that, no. It didn’t look like that then.”
Chuck had fond memories of swimming in the pond, but it had been years since the last time. Maybe just before he started high school?
He thought about how his parents were always going on about getting older, how things change when you weren’t looking. Chuck got a sinking feeling in his chest. There’s nothing I can do about it, is there? I can feel my childhood slipping away.
