I drive a lot. Mostly to and from work. Believe me, that's more than enough. They say the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Well, the closest thing I can find to a straight line is one of the curviest roads that you can find in this part of Virginia. See, it's … Continue reading A Road Rage Rant

Go Home Again
The bus pulled into the station at exactly 7:03. The sun was long gone and the tiny town was lit by street lights and blinking traffic lights. Kathryn stepped off the Greyhound and closed up her jacket. She had forgotten how cold this place got on a January evening. She walked over to the side … Continue reading Go Home Again
Muse
"You can't break up with me! You're my muse!" Brad shouted in the middle of the coffee shop, very nearly making a scene.

And it's been … Continue reading Muse
There’s No Reason
Caution: This post is a vent session. If you don't want to read my current complaints, go somewhere else. Do you ever have days where you just don't want to be around people?

Just Call Me Transfer Guy
Is this a common thing for people? I'm really starting to feel picked on, but maybe I shouldn't.

Why We Now Hate GEICO
This is a tale that began in February of this year. It was cold. There had been a lot of snow and ice that had fallen. The result was a crack in my windshield. Having my auto insurance through GEICO, I went to their website to file a claim. As it turns out, I had … Continue reading Why We Now Hate GEICO
