Life Gets More Complicated.

Oh sure Nanc, dump five kids in my lap (3 to 13) and let me entertain them with;...let me see....the boat ride; "yes you can steer the boat Adam but please not in circles; yes Nate, it's your turn next but could you take your finger out of your nose before you grab the wheel; no Joey, I don't care what your brothers told you, you can't take all your clothes off and jump off the boat;... Joey, Joey"..........splash!



"I do understand Nanc, that you and Keeland are having a female… Continue

Life Gets Complicated.

Summer on the lake has a duality;......sometimes between coffee at sunrise to Pinot's at sunset on the deck, life just seems to flow together.



A ringing phone can complicate everything, when the voice on the other end says the kids really miss us and asks if she could drop them off for a swim.



"Hey honey, your niece wants to know if she could drop the three boys off and I could call my neice to have her drop off Keeland and Michael to keep them entertained;".... (silently;… Continue

Momma's Greatest Gift.

Momma was a hitter, not that it was hurtful but it sure got your attention and with nine children she didn't have time to explain or cajole life's lessons easily; it was a sawed off broom handle that saw double duty to poke the mountains of laundry into the soapy suds of an ancient wringer washer that was her only honest connection to her brood.



The one thing momma cherished to get her through life was an old Bing Crosby record who's grooves were as badly worn as she was,… Continue

Magical Mystery Tour.

Dylan and Lennon sung me into their magical mystery tour with phrases and places that amazed me on our long Peter Pan journey to never grow up.



My tour continued through a lot of teachers, preachers and sergeants that kicked my ass into reality.



Commerce and corporate demands gave me a new Jehovah to worship with trappings befitting my style.



After a lot of years of children and smoke, I woke up and found that I had lost my hair and the magic of… Continue

Holes in our Universe.

There are holes in our memory that we cannot help but to poke a finger in.



What they exude is everything we never wanted to deal with in the first place.



We poke and prod for a better outcome but the puss is still there.



All of the best medical and emotional advice we seek is always the same; leave it alone and it will heal but cathartic healing never takes place without the air and light of day.



There are holes in our everyday life that our imagination… Continue

You all Need to Just Stop It!

I becoming very agitated and intimidated by all the excellent writing on this site.



Great plots that twist and turn in such short structure with meticulous, mellifluous phrases that sing wonderful thoughts into the minds eye.



And why does all my stuff end up sounding like a piece out of a 'Dick and Jane' primer?



The last great thought I had was dinner.......and even that didn't turn out so good but there must be eternal justice somewhere for the weak (minded) and down… Continue

Metaphor Challenge

The afternoon Sun warmed her nose and the heat trickled down in sweat across her reddened cheeks.

Her black dragon chariot easily pulled her and Tiger across the the long meadowed lawn as she turned to fight the long legged intruders in the distance.

Gina feared nothing and no one because this was her day under… Continue

A Slow Rhythm of Summer

I have an addiction to my lake deck and me.



I've taking a liking to anything for free.



I'll never know all the answers… Continue
