Functional mess
All right. I know the saying goes “We’re functional alcoholics,” but despite tying one on a couple of days a week and probably relying on British standards for healthy amounts of consumption some other days, I’m not a drunk. (She says as she sips on her second Vesper, a James…

Aw, thanks!
While it’s well documented on this blog that Gabriel, Rafe and I soundly enjoy building playlists based on events — typically nefarious ones — in my life and their existence, I was treated on the bus this morning to a Playlist by God. It’s happened once or twice before but not…

Peculiar
I find myself rather odd. I’m pretty certain that other people don’t have the sort of thoughts and visions running through their head that I do. But I’m well intentioned and I do rather like myself, so I guess it’s OK.

How to paralyze a blonde
Stepping into the blistering afternoon at quitting time she triumphantly rips off her blazer and stuffs it over her right arm as she starts down the eight steps to reach the Denver city sidewalk. She looks to her left and right like a good girl so as not to be…

Silence
He’s sitting on the front porch with me, in the green folding chair. I’m in the red. I sneaked us out a couple of Hoss beers from the cooler as the men inside swear at the refs who have made “fucking moronic calls” against the Denver Broncos. He takes a…
At Least They're Committed
