I was watching a cooking show the other day and they were making steak, looked real good. Then I realized I couldn’t remember what steak tastes like. That made me really think about it and I realized there’s all kinds of stuff I can’t remember the taste of. Pork chops, ribs, real fish, lots of…

I must learn to accept myself just as I am so I may move forward with life… but how. My friend got out and is bumming off a friend’s family. She refuses to get a job and do anything for herself. As I look back over my own life I can see how I also…

40 years old! I can’t believe I’m forty years old! I never even dreamed of being 40. I mean when I was a kid, I couldn’t wait to be 13 so I’d finally be a teenager. As if this age magically made me more mature. If anything it made me less mature! But then I…

It was just after lunch time, and Paul was on his way back to the dorm. There was only one thing on his mind. A nice cup of coffee. With one creamer and two equals. Just the way he liked it. There was only one problem though. Paul didn’t have any coffee. In fact, he…

… So the year ended and here at the infant-like moments/ days of 2013 I find myself grateful for my blessings. My children are loved and strong and yes lazy but that seems the norm these days. They’ve not written me in god knows how long. Yet I am blessed for them. Then there is…

I was arrested December 13th, 1993. Even though it’s been 19 years, the holidays are still rough. This year there is another element of drama thrown into the mix. A friend I had known since she was about 10 years old, a girl I used to babysit, a friend who was with me the day…

A lot has happened since I last wrote. I’ve been working diligently on my fantasy fiction novel but it’s discouraging not having access to a typewriter or word-processor. I still find it hard to believe you can buy tv’s, radios, video games and other crap but you can’t buy or possess something that can be…
