Oh, that's nice work.

That is interesting. I have had people I thought were really friends, but then later realized that they were just activity partners. Once I quit their church or didn't work with them anymore or didn't live on their street, they were gone. I can un...

Good stuff.

This is not at all in the same tone as The Cremation of Sam McGee, but I was reminded of it all the same.

Oh! Is that how the goddess did it? I like this.

That's powerful. Guy didn't know how much danger he was in. Well, at least he didn't have far to go to get home.

omg! That's funny!

I can see that - can see a dancer as you write.

She hit him - triple six

I got this little story from doing a writing exercise.
* * *

She reached up and laid her hand on his cheek. "Oh, shit. I'm so sorry. I thought you were someone else. Does it hurt?"

He lifted his hand to his lip, looked for blood on his fingers, shook his head. "Darling, you can't go around punching people like that."

"I know. I'm sorry. I never meant to..."

He took her hand and looked it over, kissed her bruised knuckles. "I mean, that you can't do it like that. You hit like a girl."… Continue

Espresso bliss (illustrated)

Illustrated in a photo taken by me, and named "Espresso Bliss" by my husband, the subject of said photo.

To me, dark-roasted coffee smells like different things on different days. After a good sleep, it’s like toast and incense and warm earth and sunshine, and it makes me want to stretch and smile. After a night of tooth grinding, twitching bad dreams, pain, insomnia or any revolting combination thereof, it’s like burning and skunk, and makes me want to snarl.

Of course, I never drink t… Continue

I'm back - didja miss me? a true-life six

In theory, We went on vacation to Yosemite, and to stay with his parents who live nearby. Turns out it was mostly trying to help Mom and Dad, who want to be helped and don't want to be helped in maddening alternation. How do you convince a retired teacher to accept a housekeeper and visiting nurse? How do you get a retired Air Force colonel to accept a bookkeeper and driver? They're dangerous people. We saw hawks and eagles and egrets and waterfalls and mountains and deer; we also saw our own fu… Continue

Kathy's two-oh-two challenge

My husband, Gregg Morris, took this photo a while back and it looks like a story to me. Maybe a lot of stories.

my dream (repost)

All of the sentences in this triple six start with either "I" or "She." Just for fun. My sister is cool and doesn't act like this. Hi, Peggy!

I drive to my sister’s house and I tell her my dream. I shyly couch it as a night dream; I don’t say it is my heart. I share with her my heart.

I have revealed myself to others before. I know rejection. I know ridicule.

I know she is my sister. I know I am safe.

She clips coupons while I talk, she interrupts, she tells me jokes her husband told… Continue

Hey Kathleen, Thanks for the COP offer. And for friending me. I like your site, the pink is pleasing. Tranquil. My research is generally number crunching thru claims data - yours? Oh, and personal - mommy-oh has the damn disease. But isn't all research - and writing - personal at some level? Peace, Linda

Here's a version of the words:
You may be a victim of circumstance
A quirk of fate or happenstance

Don’t blame it all on luck
And don’t be the victim of a bad haircut

Samson told Delilah loud and clear
“Keep your fingers off my curly hair!”
One night, Delilah struck! He cried, “I am the victim of a bad haircut”

And you say no no not my hair You say oh contraire

Don’t trust your future To hard work and luck

And don’t be the victim, don’t be the victim Of a bad haircut

Your daughters are lovely, smiling and laughing, wonder if they got that from you, I'm guessing. ;>)

Glad you grinned at the screen, and for playing along at home, what have we got for her, Bob?

I don't like my ms at all right now. Wanna trade? But mine is not comedy... just poetic prose, supposedly. Maybe what is missing is a little bit of comedy!

I left my 'puter to go make sourdough bread. Sometimes that helps.

See what you and your daughters think of this:
