One of my fake phone calls today said it was from Anadarko, OK. I looked up the town. It’s 50 miles from Oklahoma City, has 5000 or so people, and a Native American Museum. The Museum ...

Elgin piece in Flash

I could not get into 750 words. I like to write for Elgin there because it counts the words for me. But this will do. This month’s topic is pretty bad but I will see what I can do. Elgin W...


Will blocked for No. 8 who’d just made a touchdown. This was the losing end of a 21-19 score. He and his family put a lot of effort into this.


I’ve had some of both today. Which do you ..want first? Let’s try a win. Check. Here’s my blue blooming coleus. Next a loss. I lost my grocery cart at the store todayl. I was close ...


What’s happening? Public radio just told me that crypto is coming. Political candidates who are against it are being attacked. Okkkkkkaaaayyyyy. I decided a few days ago to give up, to sub...

Greeneland in These titles mean nothing.

I’ve been spending time with my old idol, love and fellow saint, Graham Greene. Mainly in the second volume of Norman Sherry’s biography. But here’s a link to Greene’s life as a spy. I ...


I don’t know what to say. I’m disappointed. I hate making the whole thing about me. Eight years ago, grandson Will, who was ten years old, was so disappointed he didn’t want to go to schoo...


For a while I thought election day was this week. Now all I can think is it’s another whole week. This might be the first presidential election since 2004 when John Kerry ran against the sec...


Tuesday, October 22nd. The month is skimming quite along. Weather’s nice. I’m not sure what else I have to say. It’s funny what we decide to share here. Somewhere between everything an...

So..... in These titles mean nothing.

First, thank you for the notes on yesterday’s entry. There are lovely people here, who are caring and sweet, and whom I remember fondly. Second, I went to town today. I voted. And I ...


oh my darling I think that’s from High Noon. I’ve been spending time with John Cheever. We just took a liner to Portugal - destination Rome, for a year - to spend his windfall from his first...


Ah here we are in a new month. I didn’t write much in September. I had a few things to write about but I was lazy. Summary? Travel? Events? - I went to my class reunion and it was pleasant. ...

is Labor Day. I used to work with a guy whose birthday would sometimes be on Labor Day. His name was Bob and he was a gossip and perhaps a tattletale. Well, aren’t we all? At times anywa...


It’s me again. First entry since the big update. I haven’t really noticed any differences but that’s ok. I am at the stage of life that differences are the enemy. Even good ones make me s...


I’m here. Between jig saws and notebook jottings. Somehow I’m sharing it with Frank Sinatra. Who would have thought? It was a very good year. All my bright tomorrows belong to you. And a ...


I want a little amusement from time to time. I get so tired of you. If it’s free, you’re the product. A self-serving truth. They are handwritten on a yellow light bill envelope. The firs...


Some are from seeds purchased at Hampton Court a year ago in June. This one contains a self-portrait of the photographer. These came in the email yesterday. John had called earlier and we tal...


This is something I watched last night on youtube. It’s an mutual interview between two writers - Ann Patchett and Amor Towles. In the book they talked about her book - These Precious Days a...


It’s 4 am. Yeah, that’s a funny time. No idea why I’m up. Even less of an idea why I’m typing here. I almost called it writing but that’s too far. Not far enough? Either way. It’s bee...


I was thinking - there is a new month coming in three more days. We get to start over a little bit in a little bit. I was thinking I might buy a hair product each month. I was thinking I ha...


Bob Newhart was a great gift to our time. Does anyone else remember this skit? https://www.mindingtherapy.com/bob-newhart-brief-therapist/?unapproved=46561&moderation-hash=1902c5ea1892e39a4...


Writers Group - July 2024 - My Favorite Pet Zelpha told me that my favorite pet is my current pet. So sorry, Gracie, it’s Lib. Gracie was the yellow lab - Samoyed cross who came from the neig...


I started an entry here and now it’s gone. I do not care enough to try and do it again. Sunny day here - semi-chili in the frying pan. My wild geranium dishpan flower on the deck looks good...
