It’s been a while, hasn’t it? The summer slipped by so fast with all my medical escapades and whatnot. Kinda sucked, actually, but I did get a bit of warm sunshine. One-hundred degrees is the new warm in Texas, in case you didn’t know. I spent the past week immersed in physics conversations with like-minded … Continue reading life update for the aether

Do, or do not, …
I’ve been watching movies. The past three nights I have watched the first 5 episodes of Star Wars. I’ve never seen them back-to-back before. The series is outstanding when watched in order. Even better having watched a bit of The Mandalorian beforehand. I watched Jaws last Saturday night. I always get wrapped up in Quint’s … Continue reading Do, or do not, …
Say Hello To My Little Friend
Ah the stress. The emotions that pour out as verbal abuse. Not like that. But snapping, Yelling. Someone gets hit with it if they are within listening range. Someone becomes an unintended target. Then on and on until the dog gets kicked. You know the story. And the things we let get to us that … Continue reading Say Hello To My Little Friend
Dentes anguis Romanian
I’m pretty sure my cat got bit by a snake. I can almost make out fang marks under her fur on her neck. Maybe it was a vampire. Silly cat. I might rename her Friedrich Nietzsche.
June 8: day 8: I did this one thing today
I hadn't written a story in 99 words until today, The task wasn't easy, but it was lots of fun. If you want to read it, click here. I still have not painted the room.
June 7: day 7 + 3 minutes:
Today I had planned to paint my bedroom. This is what actually happened: There is tape around the edges, a plastic cover is precariously shielding my furniture and whatnots that were shoved into the center of the room, window treatments are down, and a little bit of paint is visible on few edges. The paint … Continue reading June 7: day 7 + 3 minutes:
June 5: day 5: skewed
I cried today because I thought someone was dead. The person fell of the face of the planet: no longer worked at his place of employment (the front desk person was not helpful); disappeared from social media; did not return my texts for the last week; just gone. You might be saying to yourself, "He … Continue reading June 5: day 5: skewed
June 4: day 4:
In keeping with my goal to write everyday, I am here at my computer with nothing in particular to say. I need to overcome that. Let's just write, shall we? My vacation does not feel like a vacation this year. It feels like time to do a bunch of stuff that I normally wouldn't have … Continue reading June 4: day 4:
a beautiful discovery
Driving home this afternoon in the misty grey, I listened to a song by an artist that someone shared with me a lifetime ago, and I was transported--not to that other time but to another realm. I was a living a surreal scene in a movie, floating through the trees down a narrow and winding … Continue reading a beautiful discovery
cleaning the house
When cleaning my house I begin with one task. Generally picking up all the trash. Then when my house is fully clean, I assure myself I'm going to keep it this way. How hard could it be? And inevitably, the house is a wreck by the end of the week. But really. How hard could … Continue reading cleaning the house
Dear World,
Who would’ve thought I’d be glad to go back to work? Having a week off definitely granted some much needed rest, but the cold, wet weather got me down. The sun is shining again, literally, and oddly I’m not sad to be at work while the skies are blue and the weather is warm. Time … Continue reading Dear World,
disasters
Today I'm baking without recipes. I'm not a baker, but I do like taking risks. Mini risks. A baking disaster is a comic disaster. A failed parachute is a true disaster, but I skydive, too. Other than jumping from airplanes, I keep my true risks to a minimum. Actually, that's probably not true either. But … Continue reading disasters

Writing stories is hard sometimes. I'm thinking maybe I should just write the beginnings to stories and end them with a ... That wouldn't make me much of a storyteller. But if I'm writing for myself, then the endings might not matter. ... I have the week off, and I'm going to spend it as … Continue reading negatives
extensive lung capacity
I just started writing again after a long absence. That's not true. I write little notes on my phone all the time. This particular spot here is about a minute old, so I can't say that I've been absent from here. What I have kept my distance from is sharing anything substantial, partly because I … Continue reading extensive lung capacity
