Essays

These essays are part of several I am working on and planning to include in a larger collection entitled “Portmanteaus.”  Forgive the rudimentary bedroom recordings. I began doing these for my boys, then other families members and friends. But others have asked to hear them, so I am including some here for your enjoyment. I hope they resonate with you in some form or another. If so, I would love to hear your thoughts. One thing to note: each chapter is represented by a single word. That origins of that words, accordingly explored and explained before each chapter, then serve as the basis for the essay that follows. These are in no particular order. Many others have already been written, so feel free to check back another time for more. Enjoy.
