Polyurethane has a couple of strong resonances in my life.
Excerpt:
The first time I heard the word “polyurethane” I was nine years old, and begging my mother for new roller-skates – the kind that have the smooth wheels like the rental skates at the rink. It must have been around my birthday, or maybe Christmas.
Shortly afterward, I received a pair of roller-skates with white leather booties sporting blue stripes, and happy reddish-pinkish polyurethane wheels.

For “Flash Fiction Friday” – I wrote “The Truth About Sharks.”
Excerpt:
“No. Nicky and Tony. Anyway, Tony had a raft – nothing fancy, just one of those inflatable pool toys – and the three of us were using it as a kickboard, not really paying attention to where we were, and suddenly we were almost at the ropes and buoys marking the channel.”
“Ropes and buoys?”
“You seriously need to visit the beach more.”
“We live in a landlocked state.”
“Details, details. Yes, ropes and buoys. You’re not supposed to swim past them. We’d drifted pretty far out – the tide was carrying us.”
“No one noticed?” He caught the end of one of my messy braids between two fingers and rolled it back and forth, tugging slightly.
“Oh, people noticed. The lifeguards were blowing their whistles and screaming for us to come in, and Aunt Nunzia was jumping up and down on the beach, a veritable poster child for the tern ‘conniption fit.'”
