Situated on the bend of a horseshoe-shaped dirt road that intersects a back country highway is the place I called home as a child. Here my elderly father raised his two girls without the help or companionship of a wife. The house is set back about 200 feet from the road‚ and as we saunter up the narrow dirt pathway‚ lined with neat rows of flamboyant orange gladiolas on each side‚ the tidy appearance of the small‚ unpainted frame house entices us to enter.

July. “Scientists have poked‚ prodded‚ and x-rayed the 5‚000-year-old mummy found in the Alps. They now think he was murdered.” “Scientists have used more sophisticated tools and intellectual cunning over time to reconstruct the life and times of the Iceman (or "Ötzi")‚ the oldest intact member of the human family.
