Fathers Day 2020
Dorothy Wilhelm | 780 words | June 19, 2020 In those days, the father-to-be sat, penitent, in a littered waiting room, clutching a paper cup of coffee, staring down at a growing circle of spent cigarettes, and slowly withering under the glare of passing nurses.

Chapter One: Personal Wearable Device
There was no need to make a fuss about it. The police were very understanding once the situation was explained. Throughout the whole trying incident I behaved wisely and responsibly. I hope you’ll mention that to my children if you happen to be talking to them. I hate to let the kids find out about these inevitable little kerfuffles.

TRUE TALES OF PUGET SOUND
Starting at the very beginning. Readers often ask me where they can go in some of the communities I wrote about in True Tales. Start in DuPont at the site of the original Fort Nisqually.
