Once More into the Fray

Mid-November. Through the eyes of the aging warrior,
the wide expanse of the familiar battleground lies cold and silent.
But not for long.


The opposing forces have been sighted in great numbers
in the mountains, and it is only a matter of time until
they make their way to the valley.
Until then, the warrior waits.


His weapons lay close at hand.

Soon the battle will commence.

A Quiet Night at the Olde Bookshoppe

A cold, quiet night on Church Street

The books sit peacefully on the shelves.

The old ones,
the not-quite-so-old ones,
And the flashy newcomers.
Along with a few other friends,
Just taking it easy.
