LETTING GO

The trees are about to show us how lovely it can be to let things go. [barf] In the social media post, these words are on the forefront of a large oak tree full of red, orange, and yellow leaves with a surreal background of happiness and love. Barf again! …

PARTING WAYS

As we pulled into the cemetery, I announced from the backseat, “It’s weed application day.” My mother and two brothers craned their neck toward me like I was the craziest one in the car. Humph! Apparently, no one else saw the big ass white sign with red bold-faced lettering as …

LAWNCARE

He didn’t pay a lick of attention to me because my bra-less boobs jumped around like a bounce house with ten kids in it. We have new neighbors that don’t communicate to my liking. I prefer beers in the driveway, sometimes in the middle of the street, complaining about the …

DOORWAYS

There were four of us in the office when it happened. We worked for a glass company and if you haven’t guessed by now, the front of the building was large plates of…you guessed it…glass. The glass door from the lobby to the office had a sensor, in that, you …

BIRD BRAIN

Does anyone remember the great bird attack of Spring 2021? It wasn’t Alfred Hitchcock style by any means. Actually, it wasn’t quite an attack, maybe more of a nursery extravaganza. If you recall, we had Evelyn the duck under the bush, a sparrow’s nest nestled in the front door wreath, …

THINGS ARE LOOKING UP…

Let me start by thanking each of you for being patient with me. My dad died last month, which I’m told is an improper statement because it makes people uncomfortable, and I haven’t been my happy, full of fun-loving writing self that explains to everyone how not to be an …

THE CYCLE OF LIFE

A duck, a pigeon, and a bunny walk into a bar. Wait, that’s not how it goes. Maybe more along the lines of, “a duck, a pigeon, and a bunny rented space at the RADolence residence.” My new friend Evelyn, the duck, is incubating her eggs under the pine tree …

PAINTING PROJECTS

Thought after thought invade my mind during painting projects. Between the many conversations I wished I had, or the countless conversations I wish didn’t occur, my mind races with memories and new writing projects. I’ve written best sellers, eulogies, and key note speeches all while standing on a ladder or …
