Road To The Future
"When you are nineteen, the future stretches away like a highway until it disappears into the haze. Who knows what lies ahead on that infinite misty road?" ~ Stephen Coontz (Intruders) It seems like only yesterday that the road into the future stretched before me. With excited hopes, and a longing...

Too Much For Me
A couple of years ago, when I was still thinking poetry now and then, I wrote this ditty for my friends and relatives on Facebook. I have no idea whether or not I also posted it on Blogit. If I can't remember that, maybe no one else will remember either, or care that it is not something I composed...

Tale Of A Broken Coccyx
The airborne fluff from the cottonwood trees surrounding the lake across the road gives the impression that it is snowing on this very warm and sunny day. Though I can't see the tree itself from here, it makes me happy to know it is there. It takes me back to my childhood home and the huge...

The Fourth Day
The First Day, the words flowed and my fingers tapped across the keyboard telling what was on my mind that was important to me and I felt interesting for someone else to read. It needed very little editing. All it needed was a little photo that I had taken last year, and it was tucked away in my...

Falling By The Wayside
When the mind does not want to furnish the fingers the wherewithal to exercise the keyboard to produce an interesting or educational or comical post, one might as well take leave (fall by the wayside) and do something more conducive to life and living. Thus, in the interest of spring cleaning, I...

Paid To Quit
I've been paid to stay at a job, but I've never been paid to quit. Apparently (so it says on the Internet) that Amazon pays employees $5000 to quit working there. That's a new one on me, but then, I'm sure I'm way behind the times. After they are paid to quit, they can never work for Amazon again....
