When I look at the continental divides of my generational family, it looks more like the San Andreas Fault rather than the Everything Fits Neatly Into Little Boxes In A Tree fairy tale series I tried to squeeze it into. Those store-bought baby albums didn’t accommodate divorced and remarried grandparents… or any other deviation from…

Sometimes, there is a love so pure, it transcends space, time and gravity. I love you, too. Dawn
Our Father…
Our Father Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil….
Don’t Assume
Don’t assume you know exactly what is going on in my life based on what you see. Do I know your fears, your hurts, your shame? What runs around in your brain like a terrified filly during those lonely twenty minutes before you fall asleep? What things have you done that you deeply regret? What…
Groundhog Day
February 6th is my own weird version of Groundhog Day, except that it doesn’t necessarily repeat the same cycles… It just throws major events in my way. I fear the day, because it often represents the start of a monumental change. I was christened on February 6th, 1966. The church later burned down, which really…

Me: “I know what I want for Christmas!” Matt: “What?” Me: “A karaoke machine with auto-tune.” Matt: “NO.” Me: “I know what I want for Christmas!” Matt: “NO.” Mike: “What?” Matt (turns to Mike and said): “Just say no. Either you have to live with it or I do.” Mike: “Good point!” Me: “A karaoke…
You Know What I Mean?
Am I the only nerd who needs an “undo the last thing I did … whatever it is that I did” option on all their technology? Be it a brower (I lost all my links), or my laptop (I lobotomized my taskbar), or my phone (I pressed some buttons and got myself into voice activation…
I Wish You Enough
I don’t know why I needed a good cry today. Or – perhaps – it is better to say I don’t know which reason was the catalyst that opened the floodgates. I moved into a Sales Executive role and had to bring home a big win for 3Q and I delivered, despite everyone telling me…
Standing On Thin Ice
This piece of flash fiction was written for Chuck Wendig’s Flash Fiction Challege: Pop Culture Mash-Up Edition I chose – by random number generator – #15 The Stand by Stephen King and #20 The Bible. What, pray tell, do these two books have in common other than their epic size? A significant amount of their…
Conscious Stream
Can I get out of bed? What time is it? It’s too early (roll over). I have to get up. Out of bedroom. Dogs need to pee. Coffee. My eyes are itchy. Where is the whipped cream? Weird as fuck dream. I have a headache. Medication? Weather? Slept too long? Caffeine withdrawal? Stress? Good morning…
MOTHERboard
I hope my son appreciates me. “Mom, the internet is down.” “Working for me. I am watching Netflix.” “My computer won’t connect.” “Try rebooting.” It’s Windows …. “Still won’t. Do we have another ethernet cable?” “Short one. Install your old wireless adapter on your main computer.”(he has 2 gaming computers and a laptop for school)….
The New(er) Firefox
Change never comes easily. I was befuddled when Mozilla changed their second tab. They used to list my frequented pages. Then they made those pages links fewer and smaller. And added “Recommended by Pocket” articles. And lots of the last pages I went to. Do I really want to know that?? Really?! I googled how…
