MOM & DAD
Observations from the youngest child.

HERB SHELLANS
My father-in-law: a true Renaissance man.

HARRIET SHELLANS
My mother-in-law: rather an enigma.

HOLY HYPOCRISY, BATMAN
A spiritual journey goes terribly awry. (The names have been changed to protect the ineffectual).

I DEEPLY REGRET TO INFORM YOU
An intimate recollection of personal pain.

CARLOTTA, IS THAT YOU?
A favorite family yarn, as written by my mother. (And it's true, too!)

OUR FIRST DOG
She was not related by blood, but we likely loved our first Fox Terrier Galena as much as we could have any child.

TASTES LIKE CHICKEN
The kicky side of Sedona Rose, our second "canine daughter".
