OK, I Was Really in Jail, and I Shouldn't Joke Around About It

Yes, it is true, and I will tell you exactly what the circumstances were surrounding my overnight stay, in the Fayette County Jail. I was at a private party, the weekend before Super Bowl Sunday, 1982. I had had to put together an impromptu band, as I am always doing around the holidays. We played... Sign in to see full entry.

Perhaps I Failed to Mention that I Had Been Released From Prison

Yes, folks, another beautiful weekend comes to a close. Perhaps I failed to mention that I had been released from prison with a full pardon! The CIA swept me out of the country and just like that I am living in Bologna, Italy. I'm learning Italian, eating Italian food and wearing Italian clothes.... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I Stuck My Foot in it Again!

I woke up with a dread that I might have to go out tonight and sing at the coffee bar. Thanks to James and Dave, I get the entire weekend off. Boy, I feel so stupid about saying my job is easy and unstressful, when that lady from California wrote in to say how stressed she was being a teacher. But... Sign in to see full entry.

My First Entry for Round Five of Beat the Clock: "Strand One -- Up"

I am wearing tan desert boots in the dead of cold winter, they clump on the snowy sidewalk as I force white cloud out of my lungs. They rise and fall again as I breathe in the wet arctic air -- it is brave, lunacy. I am running for my life, at least I think so. With the energy of four men, it is... Sign in to see full entry.

A Happy Birthday Tribute to a Patriotic American, David1Spirit!

You competed and cheated your way to the top, Then you disappeared and some of us were worried that Detroit, or "she" had done you in Now you're back and all is well, we hope you never...

Lebanese Spy Who Disappeared from Duty in Iraq, Then Re-appeared is On The

Lamb again. He has not been seen since December 29th, according to his family. This guy demonstrated the perfect behavior for a spy. He went over, he got turned. He came back and didn't seem very credible. Then when he was charged (the military no doubt wanted to see how he would react: whether he... Sign in to see full entry.

Which Type of Writing is More Attractive? Corrected? Or Connected?

At my high school we had an excellent English department. Not being patriotic, everyone in the area agrees. So, when I got to college I did fairly well --- well I passed! But there was this one teacher, call him Doc, who was a stickler for correctness in all mechanics. He also probed our thinking... Sign in to see full entry.

OMG I am Saved! I Have Found the Coffee.

Before we went on our trip to the Southwestern part of the US, I spent four days off cleaning, reading, writing. I made several new postings in all of my blogs, cleaned the kitchen top to bottom, and discovered that the floor was hopeless. So, in a fit of enthusiasm, I called around to get a carpet...

Blogger and Daughter of Blogger Arrive Home Safe and Sound!

We're home! Yippee Skippee!!! We just drove in and I can duly report that the house is still standing, uninvaded by squatters, at least none that I can find. The garage sands still, the dogs were not in their yard, but safely tucked in their respective kennels as daughter Caitlin put them before... Sign in to see full entry.

Literary Blogs -- How Do These People Make Any Money?

Tonight I took a break from my book and blogit!, went upstairs and watched TV with the girls. When they went to bed I turned to C-SPAN as I do when I don't have to go anywhere in the morning (hahahahhahahaha!). I watched a panel called Literary Blogs, Their Impact on American Media and Journalism,... Sign in to see full entry.
