Kids, I've recently discovered that I have a new biggest pet peeve. For years, my biggest pet peeve was people who refuse to use a turn signal. Didn't matter if it was because they were changing lanes or turning onto a different street. The signal is there for a reason. It's not just a courtesy … Continue reading My New Pet Peeve

Let’s Go, Sugarbeet
Yesterday, my friend Caitlyn offered to provide a writing prompt to some folks on Twitter. I accepted the challenge. She gave me the first sentence. The rest was up to me... "Let's go, sugarbeet," he said and snapped on the light. He was holding two duffle bags, one very light, the other very heavy. It … Continue reading Let’s Go, Sugarbeet

Action
I'm trying to take cover behind a wrecked Corvette. Yeah, I'm the one that wrecked it. But that's not really important right now. What is important is the heat from the explosions that are rocking my world right now. I sneak a peek over the hood of the car and see little more than balls … Continue reading Action
Nothing I Love More…
...Than having to pay for someone else's mistake. Yesterday, I got a notice in the mail informing me of a lack of payment on my personal property tax. This confused me because I put a check in the mail the week before it was due. The check hadn't cleared yet, but I figured that's just … Continue reading Nothing I Love More…
