I'm sick and I just ate a bowl of frozen peas.  I microwaved them of course, but they really didn't help. I usually get sinus pressure, runny nose sick, but this one is chest cough, floating head, fully clothed in bed with socks on sick.  Miserable. So, having to get up before I made a...

I've never been..."in", "hip", naturally cool.  In college, I really wanted to hang out in a coffee shop with the rest of the drama department, smoke, read antiquated Russian novels and drink coffee...really strong black coffee. I physically can't smoke, I suppose I'm happy now that I'm not...

December 22     Age and Death     When death was young It did its job cleanly no mincing about Now the uncertainty and old age tremble Leave the world filled with half dead zombies Living is less for the faltering of death I would rather be struck down swiftly with a scythe Than bludgeoned...

"Don't get a swelled head."  "Don't be a hot dog." Those were the messages I got when I was growing up.  So I don't brag. There was that time I did share with you that I got one of those Mormon genealogy programs and had traced my lineage back to the Blessed Virgin Mother - she...

Every now and then, in our idle moments, my husband and I come up with brilliant plot or concept ideas. At least they seem so to us. Okay, they're usually silly. But sometimes silly is good.
