I Hold My Breath By: Mary McKenzie When I hear the front door open and the mud boots tromping in and the turning of the doorknob and the voice of my children, I hold my breath. I gauge by their expression, by the speed at which they come and tonation of their voice, if their mood is troublesome. I hold my breath. Did the pregnant sow have piglets in the forty-four below? Did the heifer jump the fence for greener pastures? I don’t know… I hold my breath. Is the guinea acting sickly? Did the rooster tear his comb? Did a skunk run off with chi...

The biggest night of the year was quickly approaching, and Adolph S. Ochs needed to find new entertainment for his New Year’s Eve party. For the previous three years, the New York Times publisher had set the skies above Manhattan ablaze with a midnight fireworks show launched from the roof of his newspaper’s 25-story headquarters. The pyrotechnics had been a hit with the 200,000 revelers who filled the junction around Broadway and 42nd Street—newly rechristened Times Square after its famous tenant—but the hot ash that rained down upon them co...
Regular Journal readers may recall about this time last year I wrote about Sherry's and my visit, while dog-sitting in Seattle, to three of the five trolls created by Danish environmental artist Thomas Dambo.

In early 2023, during a seven week visit to the Pacific Northwest, Dambo, with some help from his professional crew of builders and many local volunteers, built five trolls. The trolls average about 20 feet tall....
