JMitch’s Challenge
I bet you all thought I'd forgotten about that time when I asked you to challenge me to write fiction based on the prompts that you gave me. Well... I kind of had. I didn't completely forget. I just allowed my summer to get busy and I didn't make the time to follow through on … Continue reading JMitch’s Challenge
The Poopsmith Strikes
It was just supposed to be a typical Tuesday. It was thought that it would be a fairly simple day. The faculty and staff of the local elementary school returned to work after an unexpected break thanks to a quick winter storm (a nice thought as we suffer through the oppressive humidity of summer). The … Continue reading The Poopsmith Strikes

Thank You, Number Sixteen
The jeans I wore this weekend I've had for several months now. But I pulled something out of the back pocket that I did not know was there. It wasn't a big deal.

I also said I would challenge other bloggers to play … Continue reading The Truth About the Lies

Remember Paul? He's a blogging friend who was kind enough to act as one of my guest bloggers last week while I was on vacation. I'm sure most of you read his post. Because it received more traffic than anything I've written in months. In fact, each of my four guest bloggers' posts received so … Continue reading The Lie in the Truths
Oh, The Places I’ve Been, Part 1
Kids, I just got back from vacation and boy are my arms tired. Wait, I don't think I told that one right. Anyway, I experienced a lot of things in the last week or so and felt it prudent to share those experiences with you, my blog family. But those experiences really feel like too … Continue reading Oh, The Places I’ve Been, Part 1
Question of the Week #74
Would you enjoy spending a month of solitude in a beautiful natural setting? Food and shelter would be provided but you would not see another person. I do like my alone time. I'm picturing some kind of shipwrecked, tropical island setting. There are times when I go a day or two without contact with another … Continue reading Question of the Week #74
