Pants-Down Fiction

Shit. Okay, Reader, you may have caught me with my pants down. Seriously, that’s what it feels like. You may have chanced upon the beginning of Chapter Six. I started it yesterday morning, but  I FORGOT to label it “private,” and five paragraphs became “public” for a day. Anyway, I hope you liked it! Frankly, [...]

Good morning, Reader. Yes, I miss you. Yes, I think of you often. Sometimes I think it’s good to remind you that I’m still right here every morning…I’m just doing something a little different with the hour. You see, I have only so many good writing hours in me each day, and if I spend [...]

Don’t Make Me Go Out There

2:03 pm
Good bye from Findlay Market. I did not sit down for a single moment, and my feet hurt.
12:40 pm
So, the cutest guy (named Christopher R*ll…he showed me his driver’s license) just had me sign his book: “To Christopher Roll, the father of Rocken R*ll.” He says his 18-year old daughter is named Rocken. He [...]

Good morning, Reader. I changed the header here yesterday, but I’m reconsidering it. I think I may have rushed the season—on a short, post-work, pre-dinner bicycle ride I took with Deb yesterday, I realized that the grass is still quite green and the trees are only beginning to change colors.

We’re thinking either Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, or the Outer Banks, or a little vagabond road trip through Nashville, Memphis, and Asheville. Nashville to Asheville. Did [...]

Over pizza the other night, Mary told me about the upcoming “Julie & Julia” starring Meryl Streep and Amy Something-or-Other. They both played in “Doubt,” too. You know I am in love with Meryl Streep, right? Well, now I’m all happy about August 7th when it’s released. We watched the trailer on my iPhone over [...]

Voice is everything, Reader. If you like the poems I’ve written, it’s probably because you like the voice behind and beneath and above them. You like the tone, the edge, the shift of tempo. If you like reading these posts, it’s probably because you sort of know what to expect but not quite. And there [...]

Reader, all is well. I’ve just been a little bit tired of posting here every single day. And I’m betting you’ve been a bit tired of it, too. Especially when there’s really not much going on for me to write about.
You’d think I could shake something out to do and then write to you about [...]

Things I Can See without Turning my Head

Things I can see without turning my head:

three Girl Scout peanut-butter cookies in their sleeve
the stackable mugs Suzanne gave us for Christmas
the Cuisinart coffee maker I use only when we have guests who want coffee
a Bybee-pottery crock full of kitchen utensils like wooden spoons and spatulas and ladles
a bag of Starbucks coffee
a dishtowel drapped over [...]
