Warmer outside than last week. Sneakers that almost lace themselves up. A new burnt orange colored fleece, perfect for running in. No one to run with, but that a Saturday thing and not a Wednesday break-time kind of thing. A working remotely good thing, though. The big boss having mentioned the morning off and the dentist. No one to check if you let your standing desk and tea mug tend themselves while the minute hand takes another lap around the dial.
My new fiction piece with the rest at the link if you’d like to read it
Bud And Velma Witt, Christmas 1967: Bud and Velma Witt were two wonderful people. They were one of many couples who made Wauconda a better place as part of the migration to the country after World War II. Wauconda’s population doubled between 1945 and 1950. From 1950 to 1955 it doubled again and then for a third time between 1955 and 1960. By 1965 there were 5000 inhabitants. This kind of growth was not uncommon for many of the small towns around. The schools did a pretty good job of keeping up. Wauconda, Illinois USA.
