Whacha Looking At
“Hey. Whacha looking at?” Alicia came up next to Sally in the barn. “You don’t want to know.” Sally waved her off, but stayed in a crouch. “Is it kittens again? I love kittens.” Alicia gave Sally a little shove. “Seriously. You don’t want to know.” Sally shoved back, but not hard. “That isn’t fair! Let me see. Let me see.” Alicia hopped in place. “All right, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.” Sally stepped back. Alicia crouched to […]

Suzie’s House 387 : After Noon in a Motel Room
When James opened his eyes, a hang-over headache nailed him right in the middle of his forehead. He fell back against clean sheets with a groan. Odd. He was pretty sure his sheets had become a bit crusty over the last couple of weeks. He didn’t let Mom in to clean because he was afraid she’d find his pot stash, but he wasn’t willing to do it himself, either. There was something nice about lying in a clean bed. Almost, […]
Galen Haynes
There was this guy, a tough biker dude with an incredible heart of gold. Yeah, it’s a stereotype, but some people pull it off, and he was one. He had a way of bringing people together. Like the consummate host, he’d come up with something nice to say to anyone and everyone, but he did it with a biker’s kick-ass sensibility. It came across as warm and genuine. Especially since he’d let you know if you totally went off the […]
Eight Maids a Milking
Tina: Wait. You mean my ancestors weren’t nobility?! Previously in Jack and Jill: Lords A-Leaping The theme for this week’s Jack and Jill is “dairy maids” as suggested by Heather Want to see what I can do with a word or phrase? Make a suggestion.

Matt and Martin met on the South River Walkway. Martin was taking pictures of some trash left by receding waters. “Documenting the travesties of the Capitalist System,” Matt asked. “Documenting the loss of bird habitat,” Martin answered. “Same thing.” “Not necessarily. You don’t have to overthrow the government to clean up a habitat. Although the way the city council ignores the issue….” “Of course we have to overthrow the government! Only a completely new form of government will solve all […]
13 Things I’m Proud I Said
Terrible title, and I’ve considered just deleting this thing a time or two, but oh well. I’m going to let it fly. Yep, I’m egotistical enough to quote myself. 🙂 What I said with the occasional link to where I said it. 1. If we are not responsible for one another, why do we come in groups? 2. Nothing in life is ever as clean as what a legend requires. http://dianadiario.blogspot.com/2007/01/day-forty-three.html
Suzie’s House 386 : What To Do With a Drunk
“What do we do?” Emma’s mother stared down at James as if he had turned into a lethargic crocodile that had crawled into her kitchen. “We put him to bed and talk to him in the morning,” Emma’s father made it all sound so reasonable. “Right.” Emma said with all the bitterness she felt. For once, she didn’t care if she sounded blunt.
Letting Go
I said good bye to an old friend recently. It’s a psaltery I’ve had knocking around the house for the last twenty years. I took it in place of payment from a music shop I used to work for. I haven’t tried to play it in nearly that long and had never gotten around to tuning it. The likely hood I would ever get around to learning to play was low. Yet it’s still hard to give it up. I […]
Lords A-Leaping
Tina: Hey, let’s go explore. Theodor: I think that may not be the wisest decision. Tina: Oh come on. I’ve got some ancestors that were nobility. I bet they could serve a good lunch. Theodor: Well, I have kings in mine, but you don’t see me…. Previously in Jack and Jill: When my grandma is a virgin again. The theme for this week’s Jack and Jill is “Lords a-leaping” as suggested by Heather Want to see what I can do […]
