Baby boomer trash novel
Are you proud of me? I finally pulled together a plot and cast of characters for my baby boomer sex/mystery novel. The pages, or chapters, are in the navigation bar as BBS 1, etc. You can’t see them yet, though, because they’re not ready and so I have them password…

Woke up . . .
. . . got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head. Found my way downstairs and drank a cup, and looking up I noticed I was . . . still on vacation! Aaaaah aaah-aaah-aaah aaa-ahh aaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaah! Won’t stay on here long because it’s Friday, aka my day. But…

Vacation all I ever wanted
My split lip started bleeding before I left work, which is ever so sexy (that’s sarcasm) and yet might make me look tough and I do so enjoy coming across as tough (that’s improbable). Regardless, I have six days to heal thyself and I’m not just talking about my lip.…

Cream
“In a white room,” said Eddie Pells … “With black curtains,” . . . Cindy added. “At the station,” I said, not even looking up from my keyboard. I had that once. Make that twice. We’re standing on the corner of 14th and Lawrence. Charlotte, standing taller than us, says,…

Opening Day
It’s the Colorado Rockies’ Opening Day in the team’s 20th year, and so naturally I’m thinking about my friend Terry. I miss Terry. If he were still here I have no doubt we’d be sharing season tickets, betting on games and whether the Rockies would or wouldn’t finish over .500.…

Men on toilets
So, like, at the Rocky before it went belly up and even before it moved to the new building, when I would go into the ladies’ room and a man would go into the men’s room at the same time sometimes I would sit down on the john and a…

Apocalypse
“Did I spell it right?” “Think so, though I’m not sure I’m the one you should ask.” “True, so . . . . oh, great sage, what about these freaking dreams?” “Which dreams?” “I’m sitting in the woodlands on an uninhabited island, uninhabited except for the few of us survivors,…
