Thursday flash for no good reason except it needed flashing in Flash Friday
“You all right?” Her grip was gentle on my shoulder, the hand hard and calloused. “Yeah, yeah, fine. I was just thinking.” I waited a beat for ‘I thought I smelled something burning’ or ‘I’ll al...
Doodling in the margins in Normal entries
For the last week when I’ve gone out in the late afternoon I’ve heard the extended loud whine of a cicada. It’s September they should be considering whatever it is they do for the fall and winter...
Beyond the Rocks in Normal entries
Below is some scrap of something that I’m sure bears no relationship to whatever I’m writing now. It’s a desktop orphan, the digital version of something scrawled on a bar napkin or the back of a...
Desktop orphan, it might be about beer in Normal entries
So I went to pick up some smokes at around nine AM to avoid the fine fresh fuckery that is game in the towns so blessed or cursed with a Big Ten School (though I think it’s at least twelve now). ...
That thing floating down the Snake was mostly man shaped, but fish-belly white and asymmetrical ; one side bloated the other caved in. It floated past fields of lazy summer cows, floated past l...
Flash friday 9/6/13 Making an entrance in Flash Friday
A flash about making an entrance It was closing time; even the quick boys in the back room were sagging. I had called last call at ten to two, bar time and was pushing a rag over the same clean ...
One of those Things in Normal entries
Today’s brief flurry of activity went pretty much how I expected. My dad’s doctor seems to think he’s deaf and talked to him, this time, the way people talk to the very young or the very old or p...
1 year EDIT in Normal entries
I’ve been here one full calendar year as of almost this very minute. I don’t have much to show for it. It’s not like I was supposed to, there wasn’t a brass ring I missed, or a blue ribbon or any...
Warning; you probably shouldn't read this if ... just, you know, you shouldn't in Normal entries
The fine, furry and elegant folks at K-mart think I’m a girl. Or so I thought they thought. I had a job for about a week walking around K-mart and pretending I was raffling off a home full of fre...
Haredawg Drools and often in Normal entries
Ok, so there is an off chance that I will go blind one day and, after the fact, need to meet some wayfaring diarist and --- no, this isn’t a set up for a masturbation joke, I’ll go blind in a nor...
Her eyes were the color of warm tea in Normal entries
My England mug is full of tea. It’s not a British mug; it’s a Starbucks mug that says England on it. I think the reason it didn’t go for fifty bucks on eBay is that the nutjobs that A) think eB...
Microwaving by candlelight in Normal entries
I have tales to tell. I’m the wrong guy to chronicle my dull day to day, my slow crawl to the grave, and yet I’m the only one with any remote interest (and even mine is pretty damn remote). I hav...
Just another old tale in Normal entries
There’s this story I’ve told maybe a dozen times, I mean I’ve written it out a dozen times, oddly enough it doesn’t change all that much. The story is about this apple cheeked sales manager, fres...
Flash friday 8/30/2013, something lost and found, three variations in Flash Friday
Write a flash about something that is lost and then found again. Three variations on a theme. Took seventy minutes to type all three. Two of them I did my thinking with my fingers. One “No!” ...

Write a flash that could be an "I'm away" message for voicemail You’ve reached Haredawgs pocket. I’m not sure where it is. You should probably be careful about leaving a message, but your caller...

Bad Company in Normal entries
Hey kids, there’s a reason sage old folks say shit like “The more I discover the less I know”. Sounds damn near mystical and wise don’t it and/or donut? Ok, I can’t speak for old folks, although...
Michael in Normal entries
There was this character on OD, maybe still is I’ve been a little preoccupied with my own misery the last few years, that was very well drawn and, if a gun was to my head, I’d say the most talked...
Just another rant in Normal entries
I live in the attic of a house with basically four levels. Basements in most of the mid-west aren’t just musty storage areas with a washing machine and furnace. Though Texas and Oklahoma and trai...
Silver bullet between the eyes in Normal entries
So I’m having morning coffee with my mom, which, if you were to ask me, is the one solid and measurable thing I’m actually doing here, no matter how weird the day before was there is always the m...

The Snark and The Students in Normal entries
So I’ve been playing this game for a while on a website y’all probably should not go to, fubar, as it’s not for gentle or literate folk. On the rare occasion I’m social there I know where the rag...

Here’s the thing about being a grown ass man in August of his fifty third year; I don’t need an excuse to have a beer for breakfast. I have a few, but I don’t need them. Honestly I was just looki...
Cross posting in Normal entries
Shit OD, sorry. Ok, I’m not real sorry. I did try cross posting stuff; you were a bit temperamental about it. I am not sympathetic to the bi-annual exodus, the staying away in droves from OD. W...
