I use C L Couch when writing formally because it is a version of my name that's genderless. And, frankly, easier for handwriting--I have a severe writer's cramp. In conversation, I go by Christopher, having been named for the boy who had the poly bear and finally being (achieving) fine with that.
I use small Xes all the time because WordPress won't let me cut and paste the text from my program page to this one. (Grrrrrr.)
I am a career educator, semi-retired due to disability. I live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania (USA).
The main photographs at this site (of the road, of me) were crafted by photographer and my friend Debra Danielson. A variety of her work is available for appreciation at
Thank you, lookers, hearers.--Christopher

A wonderful wish. Being able to go until you drop. Of course like you and I, we know that happens quicker than with others; we’ve nothing left to ‘drop.’ Wonderful poem. And I actually have heard the song 🙂

I laughed when I read your response. You’re right–our energies are so challenged! I’m happy you like this. Thank you, Amanda. I was reminded that the song is featured in the Back to the Future film series.

Thank you, sister! The youthful voice is naturally firm–and I guess youthfulness can be expressed the same! Your insight is terrific.

Yes, as I just wrote Mandi. I was talking with a friend last night, who reminded me that the song was in the film. Naturally enough, I could not then get the tune out of my head. At least it’s a fetching melody from, as you say, back in the day. Thank you!
