| ***BIO*** Michael Estabrook: You’re not going to believe this but, I’m in my mid-fifties and just got my first tattoo! My beautiful daughter Robin, who has a tattoo of a shiny blue dolphin (on her upper thigh) encouraged me, “Come’ on Dad you have to do it!” So now there are two romantic red roses (drawn by my wife) nestled in a bed of green leaves perched on my left shoulder. My other beautiful daughter, Laura, is simply relieved I didn’t get a Mike-Loves-Patti tattoo. (I think Patti is too.) |

| FROM THE BIG BLACK HEARSE |
| by Michael Estabrook |
| On the day they
buried Nanny, the gravediggers lurked in the cemetery stubbly-dark faced ghouls in soiled blue jeans, smoking, spitting, leaning against their yellow backhoe as if waiting for a late bus. They didn't have the respect for the dead that gravediggers had when Grandpa dug graves, his filterless Pall Mall dangling from his gray lips, way back when he needed work and took any job, even digging graves by hand with a dented shovel and a hard pick worn smooth as a yacht’s hull. |
