If a blog post falls in my head, does it make a sound?
The silence in my head speaks louder than the brain gremlins feeding on muse droppings and thought decay. All those lovely ideas scribbled on Post-it-Notes and envelopes, screaming to be saved. They telepathically collect rejection slips, while waiting in the dark chamber of neglect in the lobby of paper limbo. I’m still working out the… Continue reading
I Hail from Quirky
Lately, the trees fall down and don’t get up. A graveyard of twigs and leaves still cover the ground from the October nor’easter that whacked our town on its way to the North Pole, which is lovely this time of year. Polar bears slip and slide on icebergs in the frosty wilderness and take holiday… Continue reading
The Infinite Et Cetera, More Powerful Than the Next
The clerk yelled, “Next!” I stepped up to the counter. “What can I get you?” he asked. I stared at the seemingly infinite choices on the shelf. “Well?” The clerk glared at me. “Uh . . .” “Hesitation is a sign of weakness. This is no place for the meek. You need fortitude to pick… Continue reading

Whether you like it or not, Limbaugh is a public figure and a role… Continue reading

SPOCK Captain we’ve entered the Limbaugh galaxy on a course bearing 666 at 275° toward the planet Dittohead. CAPTAIN Ah, the overpopulated planet inhabited by pimps and sluts. SPOCK Yes, Captain. Back in the year 2012, King Rush, the supreme leader of Dittoheads, proclaimed contraception evil and banned its use throughout the kingdom. Women were… Continue reading
Come an’ get me, copper!
The cop saw me before I saw him. He had a radar detector. I had astigmatism. Hypnotized by the swirl of his ruby-red lights, I pulled over to the side. He got out of his car, parked across the street, and swaggered toward me. My chance to make a getaway. Instead, I idled in confusion…. Continue reading
