Stormy Weather

It really is.  Stormy, that is…as in major tornadoes and all.  Having lived through several tornadoes in my life, green skies make me nervous.  As do multiple radio weather alerts. But before the storms, there was… THE DAY Ah, I…

How to Kill Someone Well

Really.  These are the things I worry about. THE DAY Not much, other than plugging away on the outline and trying to figure out a novel way of killing something.  So…a gun?  A knife?  A club?  A hatchet?  Machete?  What…

Sometimes Your Life Feels

. . . incredibly trivial.  Really.  Yes, I know; I am no worse than anyone else, worrying about what’s five feet in front of me instead of something nebulous in another country.  I have a Facebook friend who’s remarkably blasé…

Random Bits

THE DAY Other than work and walking around with a head filled with cotton, not a lot happened today.  I haven’t made much time to look at news–or it might be that there’s almost nothing going on in the world…
