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.

Because it's Mother's Day - something from the past

LITTLE GUILTS IN MOTHER’S KAMP Mother stands arms crossed against her chest feet spread, solid in black boots. The dark tower of her fills the doorway. The iron-tipped whip in her right hand taps the swastika on her left shoulder. She knows, in her SS way, about the cracks I stepped on the flirty... Sign in to see full entry.

Tiger Heart

Tiger, tiger, burning bright / in the forests of the night O what fearful hand or eye / formed thy fearful symmetry? William Blake All her life she’d been burning bright in secret, her tiger heart caged by convention, expectation and of course by the law of the land. Nan was brought up knowing a...

Well, well, well.

Gloria has been a character of interest through this past year and a half, one of the story- tellers at The Center. She's the emotional one, who sometimes comes to tears as she recounts stories from her childhood - talks about how dear her father and grandmother were to her and how their loss...

I Quit.

Sometimes it's hard to say those words. Sometimes it's almost impossible. But when it is necessary, ya gotta do it. Married to the wrong person? Keeping it together for the sake of kids, or to avoid making such a drastic change? Got a job that's crazy-making and just doesn't offer any satisfaction... Sign in to see full entry.

The Bone People

I've started reading a book by a fabulous storyteller named Keri Hulme. This writer is Maori, a novelist whose work was singled out for the Pegasus Prize for Literature. It was awarded in 1984 from a number of novels, stories and autobiographies by people of this New Zealand culture. The story... Sign in to see full entry.
