I’m in a big rush as I write this one for Celebrate the Small Things, hosted by Lexa Cain. This week I have a lot to celebrate. Lots of writing and other work done, including housework and yardwork and daily exercise. Have to run now due to going to visit my dad’s girlfriend then my […]
It’s an old story, old perhaps as time. My world changed the day we met and I can never quite figure out how. Mom pressured me to go spend time with you, because “you never know how long you’ll have.” I hated the smell, the cloying perfume and flowers, the crowded collection of photos and […]
Time moves more slowly when we’re apart and more quickly when we’re together. Within those precious moments, seconds pass from the glorious present into the heated warmth of forever memories burning like a golden sun which can never quite consume what was and what will be. Obstacles never stay between us long, whether pebble […]
Our colony decided to try something new. For one day each year, one of us would give it a try – being the one in charge. Personally, I hated it. First, there’s these horny guys who keep on fighting with each other, with anyone who dares cross their path. Then, there’s the tiny dark space […]

It’s Friday again and that means time to post those things we’re celebrating this week, as part of a blog hop led by Lexa Cain. This week, I have several things to celebrate. Made it to the gym/outdoor cardio every day this week. Yesterday I got to go for a fun walk at Wildwood Park. […]
No one knew her name, including herself, because she had forgotten it long ago. To most, she was simply that strange lady who wandered the streets of their town, who slept beneath the bridge. Some said she was a witch, and perhaps this was closest to the truth. Certainly the authorities they called in to […]
Let’s go to the movies. I’ve really been wanting to watch the latest Quentin Tarantino. Great idea. Let’s invite our friends. Yeah, let’s. Let’s go out for ice cream after. Anyone else want to? No? Let’s go anyway. Let’s. Let’s kiss a little. Let’s go back to my place. Yes, let’s. Let’s exchange phone numbers […]
