FAITH & VALUES

LIFE IN THE COLE BIN

By Burton W. Cole My apartment building features magic memory stairs: As soon as I hit the steps, I remember what I forgot.I can stand in my living room, pat all my pockets, run down the mental checklist and be fully satisfied that this time, I have everything.
