Fundamental Jelly and Alan allowed me to have a little break from captivity in order to visit my children and care for my vegetable garden. They supervised me very closely, but I was able to snap some photos of my kiddos playing “Libertarian Think Tank” and digging up worms. I also scored some mulberries from [...]

Hey, look – I’m famous! Or at least, popular. Or maybe just interesting in a “how unfortunate” kind of way.
But my work space was featured on my friend Fundamental Jelly’s blog, complete with fun explanations, amusing insults, and general frivolity. Go on over and join the melee.

I’m trying on some new themes for size. I really like the old one, but I will be relocating to a new host soon and have to sort of rethink everything.
Feedback welcome, and feel free to veer off topic.
*Please Note* My poems are randomly disappearing in the renovations. They’re here somewhere, ostensibly under “Creative Writing.” [...]

Don’t worry; these are much better than the last video. I’m busy cleaning and rocking out to The Clash and other stuff, so I thought I’d share.
Funny, when I got my first Clash album (that’s record album for you youngsters out there), I thought they were pretty bad ass. Of course, I didn’t know about [...]

It’s Therapy Thursday again, in case you didn’t know. So here’s my list. Did I miss anything?
Pink Dogwood blossoms
Listening to The Beatles
Sloppy baby kisses on the mouth
Singing badly to really loud music when I’m in the car by myself.
Squishing my toes in the mud after playing in a steamy, hot, Virginia summer thunderstorm.
Making people laugh.
Writing. [...]

I am in Florida. The land of milk and honey, and Mickey and Minnie, and mass habitat destruction.
I find myself absolutely torn between enjoying the ridiculous idea of timeshares and feeling disgusted by my own participation in the ruination of an otherwise beautiful, rich land. I like camping and getting dirty and not worrying about [...]

Today is the day I lose a tree.
My house is 102 years old now, and apparently, the builder thought it would be fabulous to plant some kind of a gigantic spruce tree approximately 4″ from the foundation.
I would show you what roots do to a basement, but there’s a chance the assessor might read my [...]

Writing
I am working diligently on my story. It’s much harder than I thought it would be. I am asking for an extension on the deadline.
I might still get it posted (technically) today. As soon as I do, I will let all you good people know.
For now, I leave with you with this sweet little genius [...]

People are following me.
And I let them.
In fact, maybe I want them too. That’s sort of why I’m writing this – to figure out my motivations. Because I’ve had conversations with someone about this and the question of motivation always comes up. Frankly, I think he’s a little obsessive, but what do I really know?
I’m [...]
