On Disposing of the Bodies
As you know, we have a glare of feral cats living under our house and in the abandoned properties around us. Since the cats are feral, they often die of causes other than old age. Because they live in the … Continue reading
On Ye Olde Medicine Show
Tylenol is a wonder drug. A headache, a few Tylenol, some water, and a lack of pain. I love it. I’ve known people who avoid drugs at all cost, whether major or minor, only succumbing to the pharmaceutical lure under … Continue reading

On Remembering

I’ve lived in Houston now for eight years, and it will soon be the longest I’ve lived anywhere. The only other place that compares is Yorktown, Virginia, which is the closest I have to a hometown and where I lived … Continue reading
Production Log: “The Aliens Are Coming!†(Part 3)
