| ***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.) |

| giant boulder |
| by Michael Estabrook |
| with 3 or 4 others who I don’t know
and we pass beneath this high archway of rock a bright cave-like entrance into a wide rubbly plain at the bottom of an expansive pit the walls mostly boulders rising-up all around rising-up as high as you can see and I walk out into the plain when suddenly one giant boulder up at the top breaks loose and drops straight down the people I’m with are still protected in the archway they see the boulder and start yelling waving their arms “get out of the way get out of the way!” but I’m paralyzed with fright unable to move a muscle not knowing what to do about this giant boulder dropping straight down out of the sky at me but then I snap out of it run full speed out of the way and the boulder hits the solid rock floor with a tremendous cracking boom bounds off towards the other side and I stagger into the protection of the archway my companions hug me hold me then I sit with my head in my hands, pale, sweating, shaking. |
