Sitting There

Why are you just sitting there?

What do you mean, sitting here? Where should I be sitting?

You know what I mean. Why are you sitting there like a zombie staring into space.

What would you have me do?

Something productive -- write, for instance.

Write about what?

I don't know, for heavens sake. That's your business. You're always writing about something. Find something now to write about.

Got any suggestions?

How about flowers? You seem to do pretty good with those.

In the springtime.

Oh. ... How about your boy?

He's been at his mother's for about a week.

Oh. ... How about the moon on a cold, crisp night?

I did that one a few days ago.

Oh. ...

Care to come sit with me?

Oh. Ok.

On the Scene

If you want a direct view into the conflict in Ukraine, this is a good place to go. There are first-hand description of the events as they unfold and photos.
