By Burton W. ColeDecades ago, folk singer Jim Croce taught me a series of life lessons. The main points, as I recall, were these:• You don’t tug on Superman’s cape;• You don’t spit into the wind;• You don’t pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger;• You don’t mess around with Jim. The first three I managed quite well, especially since — despite my great desires — I never had the chance to meet either Superman or the Lone Ranger.

By Burton W. ColeThat little fort in the apple tree took us kids on many adventures across the known — and unknown — galaxy. It wasn’t much of a fort, really. But then, it wasn’t much of an apple tree, either. With the help of Gordy, the big kid who lived across the road, we lugged a door that had fallen off one of the outbuildings on our farm, and wedged it into finger-like limbs of the little apple tree. The door became a floor not quite three feet off the ground.

By Burton W. ColeI pulled the blanket tighter around my shoulders. It was Saturday and I sat on my apartment balcony watching the rain. Soggy thoughts swished around my brain. I wondered, if rain falls on a town, and there’s no one to sit on a balcony to watch it, would the rain still be wet? Hey, I didn’t say I thought great thoughts, nor even well-thought-out thoughts.

By Burton W. ColeDear Boss,I know you expected me to finish that important report. In fact, I know you were counting on it. But it’s not my fault that there will be a big blank space where you expected to publish the report, which would have been brilliant, by the way. As you know, daylight saving time went into effect this week, and while that means another hour of sun in the evening, it also means I lost a whole hour of work — the very hour I’d set aside to write the report.
Sap season

By Burton ColeBUTLER — Andrew Darnell hoisted his young son James above and away from the clouds of steam. The vantage point allowed the boy to look down on the pans of boiling sap in Jeff Pettit’s sugar shack at Faith Acres Farm. Darnell and family gathered around the wood-fired evaporator — but not too close — to study the process of boiling the nearly clear maple tree sap into sweet, amber-colored pancake syrup. “I have very fond memories.

By Burton W. ColeMarch begins this week, and you families with quiver full of quivering kidlings know what the means — you’re already late getting ready for that Fourth of July picnic. Families today are on the go — or they would be if they could only get ready. The time it takes a family to prepare to go anywhere with each additional child increases geometrically. Or possibly geologically. Every new bundle of joy multiplies the mountains that have to be moved to go anywhere.
Conquering ovarian cancer

By Burton ColeFALMOUTH — As a busy mom to three active teenagers on top of her career at the Kentucky Farm Bureau, Miranda Geers thought the abdominal bloating and pressure was because of her schedule, not ovarian cancer. “I attributed this to our busy schedule and usually crappy diet. There were some other symptoms, but I attributed that to being a tired mom of three teenagers who was getting ready for menopause,” the insurance customer service representative said. “I had increasingly dry skin.

By Burton W. ColeIt had been a long, tiring day. All I wanted to do was to snuggle into comfy pajamas, flop in my chair with a good (comic) book, and relax. I pulled flannel pajama bottoms from my drawer. Perfect. Then I padded, sifted and slammed through every bedroom drawer, searching for the matching top. I found three more pajama pants but not pajama shirts, matching or otherwise. After digging a long-sleeved thermal undershirt from the hamper, I clicked through nightwear ads.

By Burton W. ColeAh, February, the month when a young man’s heart pumps a quickening pitter-patter pulse, he breaks out in sweats, and he wears his passion on his sleeve. But there’s more to February than the finale of the football season. There’s also that very lovely date that rolls around the calendar every year—Feb. 15.
