2018-03-01 Part 3 – The Hangover
When we last left our fateful hero’s, they were staring down at the bottom of a bottle of wine, with empty glasses in hand. Their fingers were on the keyboard possitioned and ready for brilliance to flow as easily from them as the cheap wine that had just played out a most impressive disappearing act.…

2018-02-24 Look Who Just Showed Up
Procrastination From deep within a three week slumber With first a slow and sleepy lumber The monster moves, now cocks his head, Instilling thoughts of sudden dread And In the wake of Panic’s stare I also wake, acutely aware Long days and nights I’ve been remiss Choosing something other than this. *** I just couldn’t…

2018-01-24 Why Poetry
I’m in the car this morning navigating the ice rink that is the high school parking lot. I was dodging teenagers and their Pontiacs and late model Cadillacs and somehow maintaining my positive disposition despite my daughters insistance on fighting with me about a 5 minute discrepancy in our schedules. I’m only half listening to…

2018-01-18 Poking the Panic Monster
I have just under two weeks to get my first set of assignments turned in for this semester of my masters program. The panic monster inside of me is still fast asleep. That’s probably not a good thing. I think part of me thinks it’s going to be easy and the other part thinks that…

2018-01-13 About ‘August and Everything After’
Last night on my way home from getting groceries one of my favorite Counting Crows songs came up in the shuffle. I could only listen for like a minute before I had to skip to the next song. It wasn’t because it reminds me of something unpleasant. It’s because when Adam sings live, and it…
