A song my mother used to sing

There is a tavern in town, in the town And there, my true love sits him down, sits him down And drinks his wine mid laughter free And never, ever thinks of me. Fare thee well for I must leave the do not let the parting grieve thee but remember that the best of friends must part, must part. Adieu,... Sign in to see full entry.

Wa’z Up??

Last Tuesday of the month. Quiet schedule at the Main Street Center. No speakers coming to talk about phone scams. No A1C testing, no nurse volunteer setting up to check our blood pressure. Couple folks who’ve been absent lately come back. Loud Dora for one; she had her hair done, took a trip to see... Sign in to see full entry.

Nothin’ to Write Home About

I was feeling lousy Sunday morning. Achy and groggy, hadn’t got my sleep out, felt like someone had run over me with a loaded logging truck with chains on the wheels – you know the feeling when you get up like that, It’s a day from a Doan’s Little Liver Pills ad from 1945, “never sick enough to stay...

Front Porch Sittin’

We covered a mite a ground conversationally this morning, today’s loathsome political scene, the endless and pointless wars that destroy the lives of so many of earth’s children. Fire, flood, famine, earthquake, the senseless fighting in so many neighborhoods. My son, six foot something and a rough... Sign in to see full entry.

Teachers Create the World

The universe may have been created in seven days – or rather in six, since on the seventh day the Creator rested. Considering the place and time from which this allegory came, it was an effective way of teaching Average Joe and Jane the value of pacing their own creative endeavors and taking a break...

Thank you for your comments on the two deleted posts from earlier.

I realize they were the cranky rants of an overtired crone who's been watching way too much TV coverage of the electioneering. There seems to be a vast shortage of gentlemen, ladies and scholars on this scene and that's all I'm sayin. Y'all have a nice day... Sign in to see full entry.

Write Your Own Story: The assignment

Last week’s handout was an assignment to the writers to look up what was going on in the world the year and/or decade before their birth. The idea – as stated in the assignment - was to gain an understanding about ways in which that era, those events, etc., affected their parents and themselves.... Sign in to see full entry.

Lois Won’t Be Here Anymore

Tuesday I tried to post a quick Blogit entry. Don't know if it zapped because I got in a hurry and didn’t pay attention to the keyboard as I should, or if it was the virtuality’s idea of fun – it was just gone. I didn’t have time for a do-over – I was due at The Center, and I knew Sara wouldn’t be... Sign in to see full entry.

Writer's Block

Some time ago at Seattle Central Community College I attended a presentation about writer's block - that scourge of an affliction that turns a writer's working brain from a seething cauldron of ideas, story threads and exciting new characters - into a block of ice. The speaker was an earth-motherly... Sign in to see full entry.
