Mother's Day Pictorial Essay

I've told many of you about my Mother, she's the best. She often reminds me of my better qualities and likes to tell me I'm stupid sometimes. This is a pictorial essay I did for her and the other mothers in my life last year. Mom likes to party (she's the one on the left).

Personally… Continue

The Blogging Continues

I now find myself on Squidoo. I'm also on Helium. Am I sucker for blog posts or what? I'm experimenting with all of these 'earn royalties for your blogging' sites. I don't know if I have a Diablo Cody in me. I heard once she had a myspace page. I imagine that it would be gone by now, or have mushroomed into one of those mega-fan sites like Jenna Jamison who has something like over 100k of friends listed there. On Helium I recently answered a posting for one of the lamest articles I think I've ev… Continue

"Ain't a thing we can do."

Been looking at the pictures of the devastation in the country called Myanmar. Used to be called Burma. Not a pleasant sight. Two million people and no help anywhere because a bunch of generals say so. For God's sake, these are human beings and the world wrings its hands and says, "Ain't a thing we can do." So, we let them starve the way we ignored the cries in Rwanda, the killing fields of Cambodia, the desummation of Zimbabwe and the genocide in Darfor. Ain't a thing we can do. We wait on the… Continue

Checking in again

Thirteen days into the "30-minute-minimum" writing plan and I'm looking at 9,000 new words in book number two, give or take. Some days it's been an hour and a half that flies by, others it's been tough just to keep the fingers going through all 1,800 ticks of the clock.

Testify

[I've been away from Inked-In for awhile and I've missed you -- other obligations and all that. This morning I awoke and had to write a story. My youngest son just moved into his first apartment (I miss him already) so I wrote this for him. I wasn't around much when he was little but in spite of me he's turned into a wonderful young man.] Adjusting to his medicated state he scribbled and wondered why the words stumbled like he did. Emily wrote, "What fortitude the soul contains / That it… Continue

By The Short and Curlies (Chapter 17 draft)

…..will be inspecting the payroll records at Mortons House Hotel Limited. You should have available the following…. for our representative Miss Short and her clerk. Every now and then one expects to be inspected, whether it be an ‘incognito’ Spoon Salesmen, the more dreaded mob from the V.A.T office, the Environmental Health Service, The Fire Brigade, Trading Standards dept, or, as in this case, the sour faced lass from Her Majesties Revenue and Customs, ‘Compliance Department.’ Some examinatio… Continue

Just had a wonderful experience...

today. I dropped into my local Barnes and Noble. Spent some time in the music department. The great thing about the music department is that I can listen to excerpts from the CDs. Great way to discover new music. Discovered a new blues musician by the name of Tab Benoit on his latest CD "Night Train to Nashville." Every song on the CD is a gem. He's the best bluesman I've heard since Stevie Ray. He does what the best have done, he pours his soul into his music, stirs it up some and out comes so… Continue

My Mother's Day essay in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch

This was a piece that had been inside of me for a while now, and I finally got off my butt and submitted it, because it's sort of a one shot deal. You'll understand if you read. Mother's Day Essay

Here’s my idea of the perfect job....Part Deux.

So here’s a few of my movie reviews. Most of them are short than I can write longer ones if it was necessary. Like the one I’d do on “Titanic”. “Just three words would suffice. Glug, glug, glug. ‘Titanic’ can’t hold a candle to ‘A Night to Remember’. Makes you wonder why they keep making movies about the Titanic. Guess they are hoping it won’t sink. I fully expected James Cameron would follow ‘Titanic: The Movie’ up with ‘Titanic: The Television Series’ since he spent all that money. I know the… Continue

What Are Your Internet Habits? (And how does it affect your life?)

Today on the Moments in Crime blog I'm asking people to talk a bit about their internet habits -- how much they're online, how it affects their lives, etc. (I gave Inked-In a little shout-out, too!) I'd love to have some of you weigh in, given we're members of this online community. I really appreciate everyone stopping by and enduring my constant requests for comments!
