The Suitcase

Stuff keeps happening.

I've never been so aware of and so immersed in History as It Happens before. Not quite like this.
When I was a kid I was aware of the Vietnam War and the peace movement, etc., but I was too young to have a role in it. 

As a young adult, I was immersed in my times but didn't have the bird's eye perspective age has given me.
. . . But I don't want to write about History Today, today.

Here's a simple, happy event that feels a bit out-of-time, or timeless:
 
at work yesterday, a pal gave me a wonderful old, leather suitcase for Penny Cooper in the Blitz. I strapped it to my bike rack and pedaled it home (taking a break at these rocks along the Greenway bike path).
  
The girlettes love it! It's going to be the stage for their for Undaunted tableau.
