By no means a single day collection. I write stuff down on pieces of paper and so this compilation comes from that stash in my work bag and on my desk at home. There’s an actual street called Bittersweet Drive and I’ve decided it will be the title of one of my short stories. Or, … Continue reading Random Thoughts for April 1, 2021

Unstitched
Day 272 of quarantine and, this may be hard to believe, I’m sick of it. My patience is waning, my tolerance is at an all-time low; I’m alternately living in a bubble, trying to work safely in my job, and pretending that this isn’t a maddening life I’m living. Part of my writing inspiration comes … Continue reading Unstitched

Dropped a bar of soap in the shower and learned it's just as loud as a shampoo bottle. Star … Continue reading Day 11
Destination Syracuse : Bowling, Irish Cannonballs, and Flying Monkeys
Presently in surgery. Please enjoy this ramshackle post in my absence. Another road trip. Another bowling tournament. We stayed at the Genesee Grand Hotel. It was lovely: a beautiful lobby, Koi pond, and revolving doors, which I always use whenever they present themselves. Except when I tried to drag my suitcase in with me.
