A Non-Celebrity Roast
Greetings from sunny Southern California. Connie and I flew out on Monday. She’s having a procedure at UCLA Med Center and I’m observing people in an unnatural habitat. The culture shock goes both ways. Most residents of Westwood have never experienced a genuine Arkansas… Continue Reading “A Non-Celebrity Roast”
Ozark Snotmouth
I have a strong stomach, but this week’s photo made me GAG! Now, I’m afraid to go to sleep for fear this disgusting image has burned itself into my brain cell (singular). When I was child nightmares of snakes often plagued my sleep. Just… Continue Reading “Ozark Snotmouth”
Goin’ Green
A few months ago, Connie bought a small autograph book at a garage sale. The first entry is dated December 28, 1939 leaving me to believe it was a Christmas gift. The original owner lived near Strickler, Arkansas and the signatures and personal notes… Continue Reading “Goin’ Green”
Take a Letter, Maria

Sharp as a Marble
My dental appointment is scheduled for 3 pm on July 16th. By the time you read this my teeth will have been jackhammered free of plaque, polished, and flossed. I always dread this semi-annual ritual, but keep going back because of the little sign… Continue Reading “Sharp as a Marble”
Sloburbia
Yesterday, I sat in a meeting with my boss and two others. He was throwing out metaphors to describe a production facility taking a hard look at their product and admitting they had “an ugly baby.” He also comparing it to people who have… Continue Reading “Sloburbia”
Cepheus of Bellevue
This week you will be spared the long, drawn-out introduction by Lord Windbag of Goshen. He’s off to celebrate independence with friends and family. If you’re new to Friday Flash Fiction, the person who never bores us with trivial chit-chat is the elegant and… Continue Reading “Cepheus of Bellevue”
