I write simple essays like the ones below about my experiences living on the edge of the Everglades near Key Largo in South Florida. All of them are true stories.

The Happy Tree

Bradley
Selling tegus has become a “pain in the ass,” my friend Bradley tells me the other day. He’s come by to have me teach him–again–how to fly his DJI 4 Phantom drone.
When David cuts my hair
When David cuts my hair, he asks me to bring out the orange extension cord to plug in the electric clippers.
When my dog sighs
When my dog sighs
I sigh
To be in sync
