The old man and me
I was 23 years old, I had just graduated from university. I was looking for a suitable job. It was a hot summer day. It was around 10 o'clock in the morning, I left the house, bought a newspaper and went to sit in the square near the house to read the advertisement page. I checked all the seats, they were either occupied or right in the way of the burning sun. There were no trees above the benches to provide shade. I had to sit on a bench in the sun. A tall handsome old man was sitting on the bench next to me, which was completely in the shade, and he was reading a book.

What's that Azure Light?
What's that Azure Light? Creativity, a etheramal puzzle, a delicate art where people are drawn to discovering each piece. A procedure follows that discovery and it usually takes a few moments to fly the puzzle piece in your hands to the perfect place. Hands crippled in quivering excitement, moments pressed to death as I dangled from a cliff, the lifeline was a scientifically tested rope, said to be able to hold two tons of metal. It felt like it could hardly hold two pounds.

Just like swimming...
I grew up surrounded by books. Homer's epics and Greek mythology shaped my young Hellenic mind and awakened my imagination. I knew there was a special bond between me and fiction as far back as memory can take me. Having a mother who worked in education, especially in Greek history, classics, and literature, didn't hurt either. Although it would be easy to blame her for my early obsession with literature, it wouldn't paint the right image, formed by all the hours my younger self spent away from her hiding inside the pages of a novel.

Baby's Night Out. Top Story - September 2023. Content Warning.
**This story contains a mention of pregnancy and childbirth.** I just dropped my kid off at something called ‘Parent’s Night Out,' hosted by our Karate dojo. My husband is with his friends at their annual all day game we affectionately refer to as ‘all gay dame.’ So I have the night to myself. It occurred to me that I could use a clever title for my little solo excursion. My buddy Malinda offered ‘baby’s night out’ and I think that fits. It implies wandering in a childlike state of exploration for the simple pleasures in life. A rare treat for a mama with a nine to five and a husband who works most nights and weekends.
