Today's Writing Prompt

I've been thinking ahead all week to the Write Your Own Story session at The Center today. Instead of picking some topic from the workbook, like describe one day at school when you were a kid, or tell a story your grandmother told you about when she was a child - I think I'm going to suggest a...

It never rains, but it pours…

It seems to me the stuff that happens in a life come in clusters. We sail along for weeks and months with nothing much happening, and then wham! It all hits the fan at once. For the past few months I’ve been maintaining, maybe even improving here and there, health-wise. The family’s been going along... Sign in to see full entry.

Poppy Day and the "Mad Men" marathon

One of the WWII vets from the local VFW was at the front entrance to Schnuck's store on Thursday, selling poppies in memory of Armistice Day. Of course we don't call it that any more - the calendar says Saturday was Armed Forces Day. I remember how we celebrated the end of the war in the 1940s:... Sign in to see full entry.

Flight of the Valkyries...

It's the background music for that scene in "Apocalypse Now" where Robt. Duvall and his crew are dropping agent orange and broadcasting the Wagner music to terrify the locals. Interesting, dramatic, appropriate to the script at that time, but to hear it in my mind as I'm reading emails from the WWB... Sign in to see full entry.

Poor Pitiful Me...

It's been a week. Since the bad turn on Saturday, when my colon decided to go Biblical on me. It wasn't the old problem which I keep blaming on gluten and genetic modification of the natural grains. BTW Did you know they found a way to turn grains toxic to insects? This makes wheat - and probably... Sign in to see full entry.

The Real Fishwives of Mundane

You may have hoped, dear reader, that you’d heard the end of this but not so. Peggy O’Dear rides again. If you remember, it was a dark and stormy night, and after a final attempt to get her to see how a change was needed to keep our little enterprise afloat – she had to be more of a team player and...

Morgan Freeman's got a new program on the Science Channel

Through the Wormhole or something like that - one of my favorite actors narrates this fascinating series that focuses on what makes people tick (and tic). He's got a wonderful deep voice and such clear diction I don't have to turn up the volume to get every word. Plus, which he's pretty hip and cool... Sign in to see full entry.

Still down. Ol' rockin' chair's got me.

No focus for composing a halfway interesting post. Maybe tomorrow. Thanks for all the kind wishes. Love you, Blogit neighbors... Sign in to see full entry.
