INDEPENDENTLY BLUE

“I want your love, but I don’t want to borrow, to have it today just to give back tomorrow…” “There is no one unless that someone is you… I intend to be independently blue.” These lines come from a jazz standard titled “Love me or leave me.” I haven’t been feeling lonely or wishing to find some...

HUNKERED DOWN

The kids are riding out the storm in Florida. My daughter and family found the risks of evacuation more dangerous than the wind and water potential at home. Gas stations had run out, the escape routes were jammed. My Marine grandson, his wife and two little daughters are also sheltering – the... Sign in to see full entry.

Thursday P.S.

The writing session went well – even though three of our members were missing. We had time to talk & catch up. Linda’s husband, a 70 year old who runs, lifts weights and keeps himself ultra-fit, went in two weeks ago for a routine stress test, the medics found five different blockages in the...

LUNCH DATE

I’ve got a lunch date with Susan after the Write Your Own Story group today. I let myself be talked into it against my better judgment, and wish I could call it off. We haven’t been buds for more than 20 years, and every time we’ve gotten together to renew the close working friendship we once had,... Sign in to see full entry.

FACEBOOK FOLLIES

There are real problems in the world, things that affect us all. In Florida my daughter & the, grandkids are prepping to evacuate before Irma hits. The west is dry as a bone and anything that hasn’t caught fire is in danger of doing so. DJT – great white hope of the Alt-Right supremacists – has made... Sign in to see full entry.

Yes, I know it was a step-aside. But ideas, verse, come as they will.

I know my verse of yesterday about the old man was off the mark as far as the world situation is in reality. The two bulls circling each other with nukes are both terrible infants as far as maturity is concerned. They've each reached into their diapers and thrown a messy handful at one another....

2017 RUMORS

The old man speaks of war again: full retaliation (perhaps annihilation) knowing there won’t be pain inflicted on his wired old ass. Misery's just for the masses living in his domain. He's built a bunker for his own a doomsday refuge, stocked, hidden and securely locked against the common working... Sign in to see full entry.

Rough Diamonds

At the Goshen Market – the Saturday a.m. farmer’s market in beautiful downtown Mundane – came across an artist’s booth, a jewelry designer to be precise. What caught my eye was a silver peace symbol on a chain – delicate but definite. The artisan was talking with a customer so I waited to ask the... Sign in to see full entry.

SUBBED AT THE CENTER FRIDAY AFTERNOON

Someone asked me yesterday one of those questions you're never supposed to ask a woman. Are you feeling all right? You look kinda tired or something. In truth I was feeling a bit down - thinking of floods, fires, famine and how our nation's stability is going to hell in a handbasket. But I told her... Sign in to see full entry.
