I Was Missed!

I received a text from Marigene while I was visiting my son in Washington D.C. "We miss you! Are you gone or still in town?" "I'm in dc." "Have fun. Text me when you return. Love Marigene." "Ty. I will be back labor day wkend." "Cool. Miss you." And so the conversation of texting back and forth... Sign in to see full entry.

Soup Can Rollers

This morning I was watching one of those silly Progesso Soup commercials. I don't know if you have seen it or not. Basically the person calling is using a soup can (like they used to do back in the 60s and prior to that to talk to someone) to call Progresso Soup Company to tell them how much they...

Did You Read the Fine Print?

Did you read the fine print? What? You mean that black blur at the bottom of the page? Well... Do you have a microscope available? Because if I didn't know any better I would say you do that on purpose! Sign in to see full entry.

Bill

Everyone knows him But no one cares for him at all They shuttle him to the side Putting him off for another day What does he look like you ask? Well he is hard to describe But you will know him the instant you spy him He lingers and pounces at the worst moment He comes in all sizes and colors As... Sign in to see full entry.

Vintage Wine

This poem is the product of a word prompt from a fellow blogger... What vintage to you prefer He asks as he wipes his sleeve across his mouth Well the best vintage is aged just right Too old and can taste the bitterness Too young and can taste the sweetness But... this vintage we drink...

Trip to the middle east part 23

I keep waiting for the sunset to watch it over the Mediterranean Sea but it seems to stay in the same position it was in when I left the hotel. I decide to go back to the hotel. This way it's still light out and I can see better where I am going. I can also take pictures from a different angle or of... Sign in to see full entry.

Trip to the middle east part 22

I try to sleep but cant seem to sleep still. The fact that I need to use the bathroom and it's occupied doesn't help matters either. It's finally empty and relief at last! Still I cant sleep. I decide to go ahead and go walking to the beach. The front desk guy shows me on the map how to walk there.... Sign in to see full entry.

Trip to the middle east part 21

The cabbie and I talk about another famous person. "I hear Amr Diab lives here with his family." "Oh no. Not any more. He used to live here." "Oh I heard he has a castle here with his family." "No. But I had them as fares before." The conversation continues. He lets me know in a roundabout way that... Sign in to see full entry.

Wine

He shuffles inside the store Up and down each aisle Perusing the many labels In search of the right one He spies from the corner of his eye Dark purple elixir he loves Small enough he can tuck inside his jacket Drink alone Or as a cocktail Add a white soda to spritz it up on the rocks MD - drink of...

Trip to the middle east part 20

They ask me at the front desk to wait while they check the room. They send the bellboy to verify the refrigerator is still full. Which of course it is. I finish checking out at 12 noon. There is my cabbie waiting patiently for me at the front door. I signal just a minute until given the heads up... Sign in to see full entry.
