  1. I was gonna mow this morning but there were early showers out ahead of the main storms. The grass isn't going anywhere it's just getting longer.
  2. There is an arc in the storm line. You should be getting them soon.
  3. My first thought was he's pretty but Marty will want him to shave.
  4. Those storms are beginning here so they're pretty much on the forecast schedule.
  5. Nice to know that at the end of the evening you felt satisfied ...
  6. G'day y'all. Our usual early start to the day. Went for a walk and ran one errand on the way home. Got back just as the rain started which was a good thing since I laundered Thistle's blankets and hung them out to dry. The forecast is for potentially severe t-storms this afternoon and evening. Possible strong winds and flash flooding.

    Chapter 3

    So it seems the nightmare memory is the correct one since we've now heard two causes for Lane's father death ... a stroke and from falling down the stairs. I suppose it's possible he had a stroke and then fell but they seem like two separate memories.

    Chapter 2

    If you don't want to attract attention to yourself don't act like a weirded out guilty stranger ... of course currently, Lane is not prone to entirely rational behavior.

    Chapter 1

    So which memory of his father is correct ... the wakeful memory of the man who died of a stroke ... or ... the more dire dream of the man holding his head under the bathwater?

    Summer Visit

    I understand your comfort with styles having more structure. They appeal most to me too. The syllable counts or rhyme scheme provide a skeleton waiting for our words to lend it body. Still that being said you should write more free verse.

    Summer Visit

    You captured the meat and drink of a convival summers eve.
  12. What?!? But I bought it from a guy on a street corner. He was wearing a trench coat with a whole bunch of pockets brimming with literature about Texas. At first I though he was gonna try to sell me porn and I told him I was too innocent and pure to be looking at those kinds of pictures. He opened the brochure and showed me pictures of cattle and said ... "it's okay, it's just a bunch of bullsh:t". Oh! And he charged me a nickel.
  13. Uhm, no ... I got the info from an Imperial Texas Tourist brochure. I thought coming from such an esteemed publication it would have to be true. *GASP* You mean it might be ...
  14. I'm doing better than the last few days. Thanks for asking.
  15. Still think he looks like the Grinch and his heart is the same size.
  16. You're mean. The poor guy's mum just died.
  17. You hired some drummer to give 'im a smooch?
  18. You do know the work you just accomplish is going to need to be done sooner than two weeks. The weeds at my house have gone wild just in the last couple of days.
  19. Yeah. However, we all know the ones from Texas are especially potent 'cause Texas has the biggest and baddest of everything. Have you meet their President? He's the same height as Napolean.
  20. Well she is closer than we are. She's in SC.
  21. Maybe he's got one he'd be willing to share. His apple people, geez, bunch pervs.
  22. Wait a minute! I thought you said the doc said you were progressing ahead of schedule. In what way is that progressing slowly. You knew going into this that you were looking a months of healing and recuperation. Don't start becoming impatient or I'll sic Mum on you.
  23. Is it possible a group of parents could hire one of the teachers to tutor their kids for those weeks.
  24. See. Even Gary knows.
  25. He likes to sparkle. He's hoping to star in a Twilght remake.
