From School Days long ago
"I never saw a purple cow. I never hope to see one. But this I will say anyhow, I'd rather see than be one." I believe this was in my childhood Mother Goose nursery rhymes collection. Sign in to see full entry.

A FRIEND, REMEMBERED
A few years ago, when I was a volunteer at the Main Street Community Center, I met a patron named Abdel. He was a naturalized citizen, originally from Tunisia, a French colony in northern Africa.

THE BIG CHILL

THE MYSTERY
Candidate Green was reading his email when a movement near the file cabinet caught his eye. Something had tumbled out from behind the stack of boxes his staff was to unpack. The staff was setting up the campaign office in a very good part of town for maximum public exposure. Many potential voters... Sign in to see full entry.

DEALERS CHOICE
She was in disguise, oversized worn Levi's and a flannel shirt that revealed the top inch of thermal knit underwear, hair left unkempt and pulled up under a Stetson, that fell in a tangled mess around the shoulders, muddy boots. To the barkeep and the riders from the Bar-S who stood around with... Sign in to see full entry.
