“And the the ocean was no more…” revelation when she asked me about revelation I stopped onions half chopped crowding my cutting board the scent assaulting me I stopped to answer to tell stories of world’s end and horsemen and books and beauty in chaos that train-wreck prophet I always picture with wild eyes soft […]

Waiting for the ships to land…

There are days I just wish the extra terrestrials would land and take over or that the evil robot overlords would finally move out from behind their clever disguises. Those appliances lining my kitchen counter are just biding their time, I know it. How long before they become sentient and just start rooting through my […]

This is a slightly different take on Fotos:Friday. Today I’ve got two videos, both are politicians, both are singing. This first one surfaced a while back, while Herman Cain was still a candidate for the Republican presidential ticket.

I’ve been a bit quiet over here lately. It isn’t that I haven’t had anything interesting to say, I just haven’t had a lot of brain space to type it up in any cogent form, well, except where Paula Deen is concerned, apparently.  You can find that over at Drama Free Fitness. For the uninitiated, […]

This poetry Tuesday finds the fruits of a few weeks of long hand poetry composing. It was a valiant effort sitting at the cold desk, watching the trucks come down the alley outside my window, scrawling on that lined pad. It must have been an old and cheap lined pad because the pages kept falling […]

“Ugh.” That’s the word of the day, the week, the year (so far…) “Blech” and “Ack” run neck and neck for second place. I’ll consider any one syllable utterance able to accompany a heavy sigh at this point. It’s not “writer’s block” exactly. It’s more “writer’s weary” perhaps. That might not be entirely accurate. I’m […]

There is some good illustration here…my oldest son captured by the computer describing the very sharks swimming before him…there’s some good lesson here- pay attention, be present no swimming.

the pains of sleep…

Having been on this parenting road for the last 14 or so years I can tell you the thing I took for granted bc (before children) was sleep. This is a common refrain for parents everywhere. Now that all of my kids are more or less sleeping in their own beds and more or less […]
