Here is the second short-short story I wrote under the emotion madness. This is included in my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABBC’s! School’s Out Detective Matt Kennedy got off the elevator on the 6th floor. The shiny doors parted to reveal a pile of seven bodies.

I Want My Mommy
Without ado, here is the preface for the letter “M” and the emotion for the story is motherly. M There is nothing more terrifying as a heinous act committed by someone totally insane and out of control (and I’m not referring to married life). In my lifetime I saw the press cover theContinue reading “I Want My Mommy”
Fair or Unfair?
There is a major controversy in the realm of collegiate sports which has developed into a firestorm of debate on the legitimacy of the national collegiate swimming championship recently won by Lia Thomas. I know I sound like I don’t, but I have always believed in acceptance and inclusivity. I am sensitive to the issuesContinue reading “Fair or Unfair?”
Love is Blind
Without a lot of fanfare, here is a story I wrote when I was working in a corporate cubicle: Another Love Story Day One It was a cool October morning and I parked, grabbed my lunchbox, and headed toward good ‘ol Building 66. As I approached the entrance, a blue Toyota came bouncing offContinue reading “Love is Blind”
Random Thoughts
I say “enough” of those “Remember her? Once beautiful, wait until you see her now” clickbait (is that what you call it?) ads. Once beautiful implies that there is an expiration date to the standard of beauty as we have come to define it. You should be ashamed of yourself for fat-shaming my girls KirstieContinue reading “Random Thoughts”
Be Kind
Just because. I used the emotion kindness for the letter “K.” Here is the preface and I am also posting the short story called Stewardship. Hope you like them: K Kindness is such a basic requirement for membership in the human race that it is almost an embarrassment to list it. “It doesn’tContinue reading “Be Kind”
Traveling Man
Not just a classic John Fogerty song, but another signpost along my own itinerary, which was unbeknownst to me. I am posting another short-short-story this time from a lake in Greece, which I found historically captivating and exhausting at once. I love Greek cuisine. Remember we are dealing with the emotion jaded, so have atContinue reading “Traveling Man”
Mom’s
I was on another unknown road I took on my personal odyssey in the seventies. We were up in the beautiful Wasatch mountains of Utah. A beer in one hand, a doobie in the other, and my German Shorthaired Pointer Chopper with his head out the passenger window, pink tongue flapping in the wind. IContinue reading “Mom’s”
Info Overload
I hope this is not, but first, check out a W&B session song: Now here is the short story The REAL Summer of Love: The Real Summer of Love We lived in a small two-story house at the end of a shady country lane. There were three houses actually, all similarly constructed of darkContinue reading “Info Overload”
Innocence
I used innocence representing the letter “I” in my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! The story, which will be posted in its entirety in tomorrow night’s blog, details my own coming of age story. See how I went from maddpup to maddogg. The setting is England and a lovely, rare summer that graced us.Continue reading “Innocence”
