She bolted from the drugstore. Leaning against the closed-door she took big gulps of air. Her eyes filled with tears; she looked up to see the sky streaked with gray. The kindness and warmth Beaufort had shown her was overwhelming. Her thoughts came fast and hard; This explained her emotionally distant parents. Lu was her mother. … Continue reading 100 Word Song – I Think It’s Going To Rain Today
Why Read A Parenting Book When You Can Just Watch The Brady’s?
I just got schooled. I guess I had to be here, in this place. This place of banging my head against the wall trying to parent a wacko/pyro 9 almost 10-year-old. I will start with this admission, I am a total hypocrite. I used to preach no TV until the Roosters Came Home and the Cows Went … Continue reading Why Read A Parenting Book When You Can Just Watch The Brady’s?
Twisted Mix Tape Tuesday 13
It's the 70's. It's not a GIANT decade for me musically because, let's face it, I was born in 1970. Most of my musical influences were not my own. Although - lucky for me - my dad had awesome taste in music. When I did get the opportunity to make some of my own … Continue reading Twisted Mix Tape Tuesday 13
Twisted Mix Tape Tuesday 12
I would be a big fat liar if I said this week's mix wasn't completely affected by the fact that I am on vacation. I would also be a liar if I didn't admit that when I am on vacation I leave my life behind me. It has been a stretch to do anything other … Continue reading Twisted Mix Tape Tuesday 12

Imagine my surprise when I saw that this week's list is going to be: Talk about being at … Continue reading What?!! You Cancelled My Show?

100 Word Song – What’s Going On
His name was Beaufort Jones, his family had owned this drugstore for over 100 years. He knew Lu - he knew Lu for longer than I had known the world. His hand rubbed a cloth over the gleaming counter, tracing large circles that had been marked for a century. Beaufort looked at me out of the corner … Continue reading 100 Word Song – What’s Going On
The Gnomes Under Our Tub
There are gnomes that live under our bathtub. What? You didn't know? Oh, well, now you know. We have a gnome family under our tub. They moved in one day, about - hmmm.... I don't know, when did Isaiah start playing Edmund Fitzgerald? About two years ago? Ok, well that's when they moved in. The … Continue reading The Gnomes Under Our Tub
Beleza Tropical
It's 1990, I am dating a musician (what's new?), he's a drummer (no offense to drummers but drummer's egos, no thank you) he's dropped the drum kit and is playing "percussion". I know, don't bother with the difference. If you're a "musician" there's a difference. Thankfully, he wasn't doing much live stuff - mostly studio, … Continue reading Beleza Tropical
