This will sound strange—especially coming from me—but when does weird cross the line?

A few years back, I was walking the dog, minding my own business, and here comes this kid walking down the sidewalk toward me… pulling a shoe. Read the rest of this entry »

This really did happen. It’s a funny story (click the link at the bottom to see the actual story and sequels to it). If it doesn’t make you laugh, maybe it’ll start your day with a smile at least. Enjoy!

He Just Walked on By

 I was walking the dog

Pretty much minding my own business

And here comes this kid

Walking down the sidewalk toward me

Pulling a shoe

 

Yessir…

This young fella was probably ten or eleven years old

Normal looking, nice-looking kid

He had a rope tied to a shoe

And was dragging the shoe along behind him

The shoe was flopping and bouncing around

And it was, to say the least, a comical sight

 

I smiled at him and said

As if I saw such sights every day

“Walkin’ your shoe?”

“Yep,” was all he said cartoon boy

No smile; no look of disdain

Don’t be a smart-ass old man

No sir, he just walked on by

 

I had to laugh

It was, after all, something I might have done

When I was his age

Hell… I might’ve even done it now

If I’d thought of it first

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 »

Well, at least there wasn’t a lot of cleanup involved!

I have to tell ya, folks, I was hoppin’ like frog crossin’ Interstate 10 in downtown Phoenix yesterday. I had so much going on I couldn’t catch my tail if I sat on it. I mean… oh, never mind. I get wound up now and then.

As I said in yesterday’s Huckleberry report, it was a great day. I had so many good folks wishing me well for my birthday, I couldn’t keep with up thanking them. Read the rest of this entry »

This morning I posted a story, As Of This Morning, wherein I talked about the ordinary life I have lived, and my attempt to share the things I have seen and done with you—my readers. Today, I am happy to report, was not an ordinary day. Read the rest of this entry »

When I decided to publish Be Still… and know that I am God, I didn’t do it with the intent of selling thousands of books and making a bunch of money. I did it for no other reason than to honor my mother, and give the book to her as a show of my tremendous love, respect and appreciation for her. Read the rest of this entry »
