A Hitch in Twilight is a compilation of stories of The Twilight Zone-Alfred Hitchcock variety. Most involve ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. Lucifer appears in two. Most are set in New York, particularly Brooklyn. They are designed to make entertain and to foster thought. They are 20 tales of Warped Imagination.
Excerpt
Beneath the Boardwalk, somewhere along the Brighton Beach side, leeward of a dune formed by the bitter winter winds, lay a long, narrow cardboard box around which rats were scurrying. There was a restless, troubled murmuring within it. Suddenly the flaps flew aside and a man inside sprang to a sitting position like a jack-in-the-box, casting pages of a newspaper, his blankets, aside in his wake. He fought to regain his breath, muttering angrily, fearfully.
His attention was snared by a click. His paroxysm had been vanquished. His senses had never seemed so alive. He peered beyond the dune, past the small gap between its peak and the underside of the Boardwalk. A cigarette lighter flickered briefly, illuminating a hard though handsome face that featured a thick, neatly-trimmed black beard.

Gratitude Sunday
Big sports weekend for my kids. I thoroughly enjoyed spending quality time with my two girls in very different venues.
With my 12 year old daughter, I went with her travel soccer team to see the Boston Breakers (women's pro team) play a Chicago team at Harvard stadium. The photo to the left is the tunnel her team made (along with other teams) to welcome both teams to the field prior to the game.
I am coaching my 9 year old daughter's softball team this spring and we had the little league kickoff day this Saturday. The wonderful Scarborough varsity girls team lead a number of drills to help all the little ones develop their skills. Great fun and team spirit!
Also greatful for:
- playing (and winning) my league tennis match tonight. This was the last indoor match - moving outdoor for the summer - yeah!
- enjoying a wonderful BBQ's portobello mushroom meal with my family that my wife made - well, I did the BBQ'ing, but that was the least value add part of the preparation. :-)
- enjoying the company of Ray and Jen during the car ride down to the Boston Breakers game
- spreading lime on my hungry lawn today and then giving it it's first cut of the season.
Peace - Scott
