Wednesday: Hinge of the week

Peg has been a bright spot in the Write Your Own Story group - Reiki (sp?) master, a retired audiologist/speech pathologist - highly skilled at pattern change and reinforcement for special needs students, stroke victims, etc. She was the organizer of the Wild Women of the Woods retreat I wrote...

Things Kids Say

I always liked Art Linkletter's radio show - and maybe it got to TV as well - "Kids Say the Darndest Things." I think it was a precursor to YouTube and all those cute videos of laughing babies, puppies and other baby animals. In our family, the "dictionary" of our communication was forever changed...

Brrrr

Coldest Nov. 18 on record was 14 degrees F. - set in 1932. According to the weather man on Ch. 4, the temp's going to go down a degree or so before sunup, and it's 14 right now.

Free as a Bird

It was in him to take her life, he was certain the law would never touch him. He'd been one of them, a brother of the badge. Well, he'd been a military cop for a year or so, run in a few bad guys, drunks, waterfront bar brawlers. The job suited him, fed his notion of himself as an arbiter of morals,...

LIAR'S OBIT

With cold intent you patterned lies of whole cloth, pinned them to fit your manikin, repeated them until you forgot you were their designer. Each day I scan the death notices looking for your name, for the appointed time and place to view what remains. Like doubting Thomas I will not believe until I... Sign in to see full entry.

Writer's Block - Blogit Style

Apparently this old girl doesn't do well when her routine is interrupted. I've been going to The Center every Tuesday for the past year. Getting up & dressed, getting out of the house, dealing with whatever comes up, visiting with the Bingo players and pool sharks has become the lynchpin of my week.... Sign in to see full entry.

Watch Crow - conclusion

Jeffrey Atkins copied the vid, played back the images. “Bill, we need to pinpoint a location.” A few hours later, they decided their subject frequented a certain corner in the Capitol Hill area. “Get out there. See what turns up,” Atkins said. Bill nodded, strapped on his weapon, shrugged into a... Sign in to see full entry.
