I took this picture before I realized I left the portable hard drives I need for work at home. I was waiting for the wonderful baristas at Britton’s Coffee Company to make my drink. I realized what was happening when I got in my car. Somehow, I remained calm as I doubled back to make […]
Went through the latest three books pretty quickly, partially because it’s the perfect time to sit on my porch and read when I have free evenings, but also because I really enjoyed two of these and mostly liked the third. I like the feeling when I get on a roll with good books. Now at […]
This doing something every week is hard! I thought about this post a bunch of times and then just did things like being productive at work and read a book instead of writing. But here we are with my Monday Joy for this week. While last week’s was a very specific thing that everyone can […]

Snippets of overheard conversation inspired this short fiction piece. I have no idea if it will lead to anything else. Preacher Man took a long pull off of his drink and set it down on the table. He looked Billy square in the eye. “She’s right, you know.” “How was I supposed to know she […]
