There’s not enough sage in the world to get rid of the ghost that haunts my home. In the past, I’ve cleansed all the entryways, spraying them with a witchy formula my west coast friend prepared by mixing water from the low tide of the Pacific Ocean and adding purified …
I’ve wandered this land for over a hundred and twenty days. Just me and my dog, trekking through high tides and low desert sands. We fight monsters at both three in the morning and three in the afternoon. They come in droves. Swirling in uneven intervals like crows taking turns …
How many writers does it take to figure out an organization system? I’m not sure either. You see, a group of eight to ten weirdo writer people video chat every Wednesday morning to talk about writing stuff. And since we have no agenda, the topics vary considerably; not just each …
It’s been 13 days since my wife of thirty years left me. Yes, she left me for frozen corn and soybean farms. I’m withering away to nothing. No more gourmet meals on Sundays. No more meeting in the lunch room everyday in between calls. No more…of a lot of things. …

A bunch of teenage boys hung out here for a week. Wait. That doesn’t sound socially or ethically acceptable. Let me start over. My “sister-in-law” brought her two boys here to visit. One is eight and quite a handful. Seriously, he doesn’t have a stop button. Just Go! All-the-time! And …
Expiration dates aren’t real. They put those little stamps on the outside of the packaging to make us think the product has gone bad. Then, they tell us to throw out the perfectly good moldy stuff, because they want us to purchase more product. So wasteful! Bottom line, I’m not …
I follow an inspirational blog that’s sent to my email every morning. For the most part, they cover topics such as; Dealing with Anger, Embracing Change, Awareness, and Compassion.
