The way of things in Normal entries
Bright sunshine, a pale blue sky, the sky I remember from these parts, it doesn’t show itself often these days, and it’s negative 4 degrees Fahrenheit out there, maybe colder with wind chill. Per...
So, like many of you, I got the OD lifeboat email. I imagine it’s sort of like the French aristocracy felt when the gates to the Bastille opened. Maybe not. I tried going to take one last look at...
Just stuff in Normal entries
I wrote a couple of entries yesterday that I didn’t post. It’s because I’m full of shit. I leave a lot out of my day to day and even though I’ve never kept that kind of journal, analog or digital...
flash friday 1-24-14 zen, nano, shuffle, touch in Flash Friday
zen, nano, shuffle, touch (I refuse to be lead to a creative labs mp3 player flash, though, bang for buck the zen stone is the best little mp3 player ever) “So, yeah, the guy told me som...
State of the Dawg on quitting in Normal entries
It’s been almost four weeks without an analog cigarette and much longer if you don’t count the one or two I had before and during the power outage. I’m really the last guy you want to take quitti...
flash friday 1-24-14 one dog year in Flash Friday
Must have been 2005 by process of elimination. That’s how my memory works; get rid of all the years it wasn’t. Not that hard, I don’t have to deal with dates before my birth or in the future. Let...
Flash Friday 1-24-2014 Every photo prompt in Flash Friday
I deal in ghosts. Not the disenfranchised spirits of the dead, as far as I know there is no such thing. When I try to entertain the possibility it doesn’t make much sense; why hang out on this sh...
A misunderstanding leads to hostility. The choir was practicing nearer my god to thee, Jimmy the Saint and Woefully Fat St. Claude were in the back pews. Woefully Fat had a toothpick he was worr...
It's all right, hey lawdy mama in Normal entries
So I had pizza delivered yesterday at luncheon, it being MLK day and apparently no meals on wheels for the folks. Dude calls me back and says they don’t have any feta and after a brief and clumsy...
bongos bass and bob in Normal entries
Another MLK day and once again I’ve forgotten to send my “Happy Civil Liberty Assassination Day” cards. I’m never sure quite what to write in those things either and whether it’s cool to add othe...

Flash Friday 1-17-14 white bread, quench, propeller in Flash Friday
The air conditioner hissed and spat rusty water, like thin blood, like a snake with T.B. The shade on the nearest lamp was splattered with the stuff; looked like a crime scene. “I’m glad you cam...
A time to reap and a time to sow in Normal entries
Too crunchy for fiction, flash or otherwise. When I was a kid I was really into touring bikes, I mean long distance bicycles; my friends and I built them, not from raw material but from compone...
Write a flash about resisting a temptation. Cheap hotel pen, taxi, British agenda Prom night and all the seniors are penned in cheap hotels breaking things; hearts, furniture, cherries, livers....
Simple in Normal entries
My mom is having cataract surgery this morning on her left eye. My little sister came up from Nashville (no, not with a suitcase in her hand or looking for a boy who looks like Elvis, she came wi...
Whole lotta nothing in Normal entries
Odd, I have to force myself to write. Nine days without power and all the previous years cultivating of habit all shot to shit. I use a journal exactly the same way as everyone else, sort of, and...
Doo Right, Yoo Doo right in Normal entries
The last few days the mercury has been climbing past the better cold mark and into the melty marks. Sun is streaming through the eastern windows, well, the only windows in the attic. I went on a ...
State of the Dawg; Vaping mile marker in Normal entries
Man and ma’am and the rest of y’all, if I believed in jinxes and stuff I would have sworn I done jinxed me last night. A jinx is a juvenile minx, right? That whole business about dreaming and sle...
Go Down miss Moses they ain't nothing that you can say in Normal entries
The day is close to over, in a few minutes I’ll take medication and sleep. Without the medication I don’t sleep. I’ve been an insomniac all my life, it only became a problem in the last few years...
Flash Friday 1-10-14 violin, treetop, abandon in Flash Friday
violin, treetop, abandon When I first moved to Portland I lived off the park blocks, the south park blocks, where the university was, and, to the best of my knowledge, still is. It’s different n...
Flash Friday 1-10-14, the peasants were waiting for me in Flash Friday
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJRR3Ltm_sw I woke up itching. Some motels just make you itch. I orientated to the banging at the door, the darkness, and awareness started flooding back. I put u...
It feels like one day just flows into the next, like tributaries, cricks into some grand headwater of time. Sometimes. Sometimes a day will stall or like a shallow pond evaporate into nothing but...
She would brush the back of her hand against my right cheek; if she trailed off to the jaw it meant a sniper at two o’clock, to my ear, a sniper at ten. If I looked where her cleavage was under t...
My senses are too dull for fiction and yet fiction is what I want to write. I had a groove once. I don’t mean in the nebulous sense of mojo, more in the carpentry sense of a tongue and groove, th...
