I’m not sure what I think of this Pandora thing I’ve tossed into the sidebar but I’ve put it there for the moment as an experiment. I suppose it would have been almost as easy to simply code in links … but then I’d have to hunt down places to link to.
It’s really just there […]

I’ve posted my latest flash fiction: Dinner is cancelled. This is for JJ’s latest - Flash Fiction Friday #34.
(Now this is interesting, if confusing. It’s called Flash Fiction Friday. I’ve written and posted it on a Saturday. And I’ve put it on my blog called Sunday Stories.)

It has been years – maybe decades – since I last had a bowl of raisin bran. There have been some changes. For instance, today it seems there are as many raisins as flakes of bran cereal. Now, I like raisins but it did seem excessive.
Also … why must they put sugar on them? Especially […]

From the heady reaches of Piddleville … I’m really fucking glad this fucking week is fucking over.
Well, almost over. Sometime today (Friday) it will finally feel as if it’s over, and thank heaven for that.
Yes, the problem (as usual) is work, the world and so on.
JJ has a post worth a read over […]

It is simple. A few weeks from now, that sky will be obliterated.
From the balcony, looking up, you see sky and branches and budding leaves. But soon you shall see nothing but green. Well, actually you won’t - I will.
Because this is from my balcony. At this stage of spring’s annual progress of […]

The weekend was pretty uneventful. You can tell because I was posting about hockey games. That’s a good indication not much interesting is happening in my world.
As you can see by the image on the right, spring is making its way here. Well, actually it is here. That’s why guys like this are […]

Normally I would dislike an “afternoon” hockey game. Not only is it just plain wrong to have hockey games in the afternoon, I place quotation marks around “afternoon” because while it may be after 12 on the east coast, it ain’t out here.
So today’s Oilers-Red Wings game started at 11:00 a.m. That’s like starting a […]

This week was unusual in that I actually made it into the office. On those days when I do, this is where I go.
People were fainting in the hallways when they saw me. For the last little while (or long while, depending on how you view these things) I’ve been working largely from […]

… are Oiler fans. Edmonton Oiler fans. And tonight, two hours from now actually, the Oil skate out onto the ice at Joe Louis Arena to tussle with the Detroit Red Wings.
This is a fun time of year because the “experts” are almost always wrong in their predictions about who will win the Stanley Cup, […]

Today was interesting in a disagreeable way. I returned to work registering 0 on the enthusiasm scale and there, at work, was everyone jacked as if they were on crystal meth and there were a gazillion meetings and I was just trying to figure out why they cared.
In almost every meeting I was thinking, “But […]
