From the Ozarks to San Diego, and many places in between - Hodge takes us on a journey of delightful observations about the world and our place in it. A little girl taking a Christmas tree with her on a school bus; a leash intended for three mini dachshunds becomes a "dog-fight-on-a-leash"; and the poem "We Smile with Our Eyes" brings us back to the quirks of the pandemic era.
