Seafood is not high on my dining list except for fish. Growing up, we only had this one catch, bounty from the local Pee Dee River. But today, we were in a commercial setting and the variety of servings was endless so I chose… fish.

I have trouble giving this column a title since its writing brings sadness. My friend has ‘gone’ that is he has died – a word I wish I could avoid.

Most people have at one time owned a spring wound toy. Wind it up and the stored energy in the spring provides the power of movement.

Every day except Sunday, I visit a nursing home. Of course the residents are mostly way past retirement and many with medical conditions but most with remarkably good recall about the past especially during their youth.
