Badgered
Dirk wandered into a fever dream disguised as an office cubicle. He'd just been assigned a post at a very important firm that made magic by counting numbers. He slid into an available stall and waited for work to flow in. Nervous thoughts pinged and boinged throughout his racing brain.... Continue reading

A Space for the Aged
...and now a word about Substack. I'm an oldster who misses the MySpace and Tumblr era. Creative, fun hangouts where the cool kids held court. I don't recall ever having to dodge freak-a-zoids on those early social media platforms. Substack, however, is a different beast. I've only been an active... Continue reading

When Detachment Is The Goal
Lament the idol rider Memories arise while one Browses the aisles A roadside gift shop Search for the perfect Piece of Identity Dark hair Dark eyes Scent of sage and chocolate Strong Arms Wind blew in through The Cracks We looked upon Rolling Hills Jade Forests Through grease-smeared glass And...

Ten years since the day we parted and I forgot to say Hey! 2024 has just been that way. Spinnin' wheels, stuck in reverse. I truly do think about you all the time, except for this year I completely forgot about commemorating your Rainbow Bridge journey. With your sister by... Continue reading

Safe Travels

Been receiving lovely messages from friends wanting us to know the many ways in which you helped them and provided countless good times that'll last as precious memories. I've been going...

How To Qualify As A Human
Sometimes it takes a kick in the teeth to realize the thing you were good at as a kid is the antidote to being: afraid, bored, cowardly, destructive, early, fretful, greedy, humiliated, indignant, jaded, kiboshed, late, misunderstood, needy, obstinate, puerile, querulous, recreant, sad, tormented, unkempt, vitriolic, wishy-washy, xenophobic, You, zombified.

Venting on NYE
For me, 2023 never really got out of the blocks. On a global level...? Wars. Environmental Disasters. Mayhem of Every Design. I'm nursing the sniffles and excited about a repair person coming over this afternoon to clean the dryer vent. What better way to ring in 2024? I'm catching a... Continue reading

Not All Surprises Come In A Box
Barbie, with her wicked business acumen, saw this seismic shift in the world of comms way before any in-the-trenches types were mysteriously summoned, in small batches, to a hard to find 4th floor conference room with nary an explanation as to why. So the story goes... A man dressed in... Continue reading

The Tale of Shiver & Squeak
How quickly we've come back around to 12/12. It's been a rough year for myriad reasons. But in this season of light and love, the 12th of December will forever mark the day you embarked on a journey far, far away from us. Your Pa and I like to picture... Continue reading

A Meditation on Misfits
My boss gave her team the holiday assignment of declaring the Island of Misfit Toys plaything with which each of us most identifies. That's some heavy stuff to ponder during these days of candles, cookies and EoY merrymaking. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer is a stop-motion meditation on learning to love... Continue reading

Light It Up
Light dances upon jewel-laden boughs. A sock monkey clings to a sparsely needled branch. There is no darkness that homemade ornaments can't penetrate. There is no treasure greater than the connections forged with others as we navigate the starless night. Continue reading

Never Empty
The Glowing Rose is a tavern on the outskirts of town. Just past it, little over a mile, the road runs out. If a body were traveling through those heavily wooded parts, they’d see the border of another country soon enough. The old timers, though, have a hard time leaving... Continue reading
