Brain Flurries

The inspiration for this column came from my mom. She and I were on the phone a few weeks ago and she mentioned Veterans Day. She was thinking about her older brother Tommy, the uncle I never had the chance to know.

 Before the 1500s, autumn was known as harvest. I don't remember that, it was way before my time. I always called this season fall, never even autumn.

Every time I visit my parents in Pittsburgh my dad asks, “Do you need a coffee pot?” And every time I answer, “No. I have one.”

 To me, a normal refrigerator has more shelf space than food.
