The first two hours went by quick. I’m working on a longer version of a short story that I had sent to McSweeney’s for consideration. The funny part is I just realized that the best scene from the short isn’t in the longer version and now I don’t know if it can be. I take… Continue reading Back At The Chain Restaurant

Back At The Harmony
Today we are back at Sweet Harmony’s and I feel the need to describe my lunch. They started with homemade bread, baked fresh here daily. As I wrote lemon iced muffins came out into the case followed by raspberry crunch and dark chocolate cherry. Since my sandwich, which I am getting to, came with a side… Continue reading Back At The Harmony
The Tour Continues…
Today started at J.Rene’s yet the noise level was too much. We shared a table with a young couple who kept edging this gigantic vase of flowers towards our side. They wanted to watch each other drink espresso and sigh into each other’s breath. Or maybe they just found the flowers to be annoying. Between… Continue reading The Tour Continues…
Writing At The DMV
No, I haven’t completely lost my mind. I needed to get a history of my driving record for a potential client. I have done this before and it was simple: stand in the Information line, hand the person $20 and my license when it was my turn, get the report, and leave. Depending on how… Continue reading Writing At The DMV
Are All Women Crazy?
Greetings from an unnamed chain restaurant. Today’s blog is going to consist of random conversations that interrupt the flow of writing. Side note: I can’t make this up… Guy in his mid-fifties is standing between me and the iced tea choices. He smiles and informs me that “he is the tea guard and he can’t… Continue reading Are All Women Crazy?
The Smell Of Baked Goods…
Today we are composing at The Half Moon Café & Grille and as you can see, they have a kick ass dessert bar. I’m off sugar again yet the place smells like baking cake. This is perfect for me – all the visual and scent sensations without the after effect. From experience, they make a killer… Continue reading The Smell Of Baked Goods…

The other is a humorous looks into one of our longest running rituals: the funeral. I know funerals and laughing do not… Continue reading What is up folks? & Happy Summer!
“Inspiration, move me brightly…”
I started to write this several times and in each version seemed to venture off track so I sent it to a very gifted writer friend, Terri Linnea, and through edits and additions, she was able to focus on what I am trying to say. Here before you is a collaboration of two lifetime friends… Continue reading “Inspiration, move me brightly…”
