Image via Wikipedia Close Encounters of the Third Aisle. A refurbished post from 2009. The supermarket and I have a love-hate relationship because I hate going. Although once I arrive, I love finding a story down one of the aisles. “Should I choose door number one or door number two?” I wondered aloud, while in… Continue reading
Checking the Rearview Mirror Back to Mayhem 2009.
Image by grendelkhan via Flickr Back in May 2009, my Uncle Sam on my mother’s side, helped support me after Frank the baker cut off my dough and tossed me out the back door with the used doilies. Although I am eternally grateful to my Uncle Sam for his financial help while we tube fed… Continue reading
When A Brain Goes MIA
If Only There Was a Lost and Found for Brains I once had a brain but it went MIA above the yondering blue where the space ships cruise in weightlessness. That’s where my brain is — somewhere in space, the final frontier — floating in a vacuum of nothingness. In space, there is no air… Continue reading

Black And True And Weird All Over.
The weirdness of life continues to dog me. Yes, its bark is as bad as its bite, and it’s also a terrible mouser. Five minutes ago, my cat sauntered into the kitchen and dropped a mouse and leaf on the floor. I don’t know if my cat is near-sighted, thought that she bagged two mice… Continue reading

This gloomy weather and the gray drippy sky doesn’t help. I want to be five years old again, find a mud puddle, jump in it,… Continue reading
Totally Retro-spective!
Image via Wikipedia When I started blogging two plus years ago, I had zero readers but that was irrelevant. Having an outlet to keep me sane was my prime directive. Earthly writing also kept me sane but required at least 5,000 words, the typical length of a short story, my chosen literary genre. Whereas, blog… Continue reading
Random Thoughts: Land of Lost Moments
Image via Wikipedia Poetry Land of Lost Moments I hold the answer in my hand held tight in a fist.Inside it, I carry the weight of years lost in quiet introspection.Dreams discarded,like tufts of dead grass tossed on the side of the road,laying in a pile that grows higher every day,now too unwieldy to… Continue reading
