There were times I literally lived in fear of my dad. At the time, it wasn’t fun, and it darn sure wasn’t funny, but now, looking back, some of the things that took place were a bit humorous in a terrifying sort of way. This is one of them: Read the rest of this entry »

Sometimes the strangest things pop into my mind. This morning—from where it came, I can’t say—I thought of the old pumps we used to use to air up our bicycle tires, basketballs, footballs, and the like. Read the rest of this entry »

Y’all might have noticed, I love telling stories about my little brother, Ken. This one is about Ken’s encounter with a celebrity; he’s always been kind of the star-struck sort, and as you will see, he is, at times, at a loss for words. (NOT!) Read the rest of this entry »

As many of you know, I take great delight in making people laugh. What most of you don’t know is there was a time when I considered this day–April 1st–a National Holiday. Yes, April Fool’s Day, when I was in my jokester prime, was my favorite day of the year. Just ask my little brother… Read the rest of this entry »

Raining cats & dogs here today, so I’m just having a little fun. Took this out of a short story I wrote a while back. The story is called “Cool as in Cat“, and if you’d like, you can read it by clicking on the title. Be cool, y’all! Read the rest of this entry »

The people I live with named me “Cool”, so I try to live up to the name. They’ve got a butt-load of cats, and it beats me how they can remember which cat is called what. But, hey, I’m cool with that; they always seem to get my name right, and the food dish is always full when I’m hungry. Read the rest of this entry »

This is a true story. It happened in the summer of 1998 when Sherry and I lived in Pflugerville. It was a dawning of the ages, I suspect. I hope it brings a smile to your face; it does mine, every time I read it. Sharing it today on dVerse Poets Pub’s Poetics: It’s About Time. I think it’s a perfect fit! Read the rest of this entry »

Here’s a silly little poem I wrote for absolutely no reason; just one of those random thoughts that seem to race into my mind from time to time. I’m posting it on dVerse Poets Pub’s Poetics: Foodloose. They wanted a poem about food? Well, HA! I got one! Read the rest of this entry »

This didn’t happen today, but it really did happen. It’s a funny story that I think fits the prompt Brian has presented for the dVerse Poets Pub’s Poetics feature today. Enjoy! Read the rest of this entry »
