On a House Without Pets
I lived for a long time without pets. Not because I didn’t want one, but because I was too poor to afford one or lived in an apartment that wouldn’t let me have one or felt that I was too … Continue reading
On Eegah!
No, I’m not going to talk about the movie. No, I haven’t seen the MST3K episode. No, I did not sleep very well last night. No, I do not feel well, still. No, I didn’t not drink too much last … Continue reading

There is no pilot. We are going down.
I had something to say here. No, really. And it was awesome. Or maybe it was just “I miss my cat.” Granted, I have no pictures of her in the flush of her adulthood, but I do have an array … Continue reading

“Lord I relly want to eat your body and blood. Amen.”
It’s strange to be quoting yourself, misspellings and all. I wrote the above when I was eight in a book that explains, to kids, why we (Catholics, I mean) celebrate the Eucharist. The book and it’s less-written-in brother were in … Continue reading
Crazy Reading Time Festival!
Why is it that I feel there’s not enough time in the day (when all I have is time?) (and all I need is love?)? Time to start the music. (Time to light the lights) And Jeoffrey is eating and … Continue reading
