her chair

 

 

 

 

 

very sick, my mother spent the last few months of her life in a nursing home.  each time I’d visit I’d find her propped up in a chair by the nurse’s station.  one day I asked “what are you doing out here, mom?”

 

  “I’m waiting to buy my ticket,

the train is coming.”

Roger, originally from Brooklyn, NY, was stranded in Woodstock when his car broke down fifty years ago. He never left.

Roger lives with his dog, Pepe

and is one mean pickleball player.
