September 25, 2022 I was shopping for Halloween decorations at a local store. Browsing through the aisles of green ghouls, plastic skeletons, and wart-nosed witches. It was a pleasant throwback to the Halloweens of my youth, free candy, and a plethora of horror and SciFi films on TV. It was fun hitting the electronic buttons…… Continue reading BOO!

Wait…You Mean Today is Thursday?
September 24, 2022 Some people have taken to calling it “COVID time,” the suddenly shared sense that time is vanishing or losing its former cohesion…that logical linear progression of hours and even days. I feel like one of those unfortunates in an alien abduction YouTube video who can not account for hours of their day.…… Continue reading Wait…You Mean Today is Thursday?

It settles, the ingredients mix and blend, the creation rises and bakes til it pleases mostly all the senses. Publishing that same book is similar…… Continue reading Batter Up
Kitty’s Back
September 25, 2022 Much to my surprise, I have acquired a pet cat. As a committed “dog” fan, the cat’s addition to my single household has amused and even confused me. She first appeared over a year ago, just another in the gang of feral cats that roam our neighborhood. I began to feed her…… Continue reading Kitty’s Back

The notes were journals, and those journals spanned decades. They were begun in… Continue reading The Writing Life
