Starving Artist Stops Abusing Food
I often see those success stories of people with humble and/or difficult beginnings finally breaking into the entertainment industry as a writer or actor. He was living out of his car before he made it. Wow, my car looks like someone lives in it, but that's it. Her parents abandoned her and she bounced from foster home to foster home before achieving success. Wow, I have great and supportive parents. Bummer. He worked at a grocery store during the day and pulled overnight shifts as a janitor for years before he was discovered. Wow! I deal with shit at work, but not literal shit! I’ve looked at my own life. My parents didn’t abandon me, I hadn’t gone through financial hardships that cost me a home… I don’t have this incredible story of rags to riches. I’m just over here… living. So, am I going to be able to make it as a writer without the story? It’s as if I need the tough beginnings in order to make it, and I didn’t have those. However, I may finally have someone to thank. My job. My job may have given me just what I needed.

The Squeeze
– The Pricey Luxury Badge vs the Hovering Hulk – Most of us have a problem with car doors putting dents on the sides of our cars; we'd like to take up two spaces but then we'd get key'd out of spite if we did. Currently the 'Compact' spots are occupied by Schlong-Schlinging oversized trucks that have their Tuckus' so far out they block the drive through aisles; I'm probably the only one that's noticed.

Bless Me Father for I Have Sinned
So, here’s me sitting on the 7b bus heading into town. I shouldn’t be on the bus. I don’t want to be on the bus. I should be on a bike, legs pumping like pistons. The freedom of the open road. Direction where the tyres press, as the poet said.

Such a Deal
— Penny Wise — I happened to pass by the 'Salvation Army' Thrift store and even very fancy cars were lined up around the block just to 'Bin' shop; along with huge truck trailer loads toting in varied merchandise. This gorgeous store offers everything from baskets of eye glasses to lovely furniture all cleaned and sanitized; a $500 recliner is tagged for $50 Bucks.

If Evil, Why Cute?
It starts like this, fair readers: It's the early morning, and I've just stolen the last cup of coffee from the pot. I open up my brainstorming journal to scrappy pages, my laptop primed upon a dusty, glowing white screen; words either already written or about to be written upon the blank spaces.

The Whiskered War
A domestic drama; rather, you're witnessing a millennium-old conflict over the fate of the entire planet (and possibly just a smA titanic struggle between wits and strength has been raging in the shadows for millennia: The Great Nibble vs. The Purrsecution. The cats, the furry fighters, the fascists of the feline world, occupy one corner. In the other, mice make up the squeaky squad, the small militia. The reward? Domination over the entire world (and possibly an especially tasty cheese wheel).

The Surprise Party
You know how your parents say, "I hope you have a kid just like you someday!" On February 21, 2024, our oldest child, Ava, did something so out-of-pocket, as the new saying goes, that it had Tony, my husband, and I staring at one another from across the table at 6 pm wondering, "Where's the child who was supposed to be just like us."
