Two in the Bush
I’d like to begin this week’s post by wishing my fellow Americans “Happy Independence Day!” We are blessed to live in a nation where people can openly express their views (unless they’re politically incorrect) without fear of retribution. If you’ve watched television more than… Continue Reading “Two in the Bush”
Magic Bus
Welcome to the Rachel Crofton bus tour for the highly medicated. If you’ve ever taught a teenager to drive, you know the harrowing experiences that happen when riding with someone who has a wandering eye and an anvil for a right foot—in this case,… Continue Reading “Magic Bus”
Double Bogey on the Back 9
One of my all-time favorite Far Side cartoons featured a piano player in a western saloon. Seeing the villain was about to stroll through the bat-wing doors, he announced, “Uh-oh, bad guy, switch to minor key.” If I’d listened to Gary Larson, this week’s… Continue Reading “Double Bogey on the Back 9”
Mild Kingdom
Like every other American of my generation, I grew up watching Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom starring Marlin Perkins. The most amazing thing about this show was not the exotic locales or dangerous animals they encountered. It was Marlin’s ability to convince his none-too-bright… Continue Reading “Mild Kingdom”
Rapunzel’s Sister
Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the last two hundred years, you’re probably familiar with the Bros. Grimm fairy tale “Rapunzel.” As in most stories of this genre, the damsel in distress is terminally pretty and the hero brutally handsome (i.e. ~… Continue Reading “Rapunzel’s Sister”
Chiggerfest 2013
Please excuse the long-winded diatribe at the start of this post. If you prefer to skip this part (which has nothing at all to do with the story) feel free to scroll down and cut to the chase. My feeling will be injured, but… Continue Reading “Chiggerfest 2013”
Fuzzy Headed
This week’s story weighs in at 127 words, classifying it as Featherweight as opposed to the Mini Flyweight guideline of our guild. But I figured, “Hey, if Perry can get away with it, so can I.” I’ll be leaving for North Carolina before daylight… Continue Reading “Fuzzy Headed”
Presidential Library
Last September, Connie and I had the great pleasure of visiting the Clinton Library in Little Rock, Arkansas. We spent a couple hours there and probably saw less than half of what there is to see. If you haven’t toured a Presidential Library, today’s… Continue Reading “Presidential Library”
Location, location, location
For those of you expecting a lengthy intro this week—sorry, it ain’t gonna happen. Too much to do and so little time. If you are new to Friday Flash Fiction, the queen bee of our hive is the lovely and talented, Flying Wallenda Wisoff-Fields.… Continue Reading “Location, location, location”
Moanin’ after Midnight
Be forewarned, this is a real groaner. Thoughts poured through my pea brain like boulder sized kidney stones passing through a narrow urethra. It took two rolls of paper towels to clean up the perspiration generated by umpteen hours of hard labor giving birth… Continue Reading “Moanin’ after Midnight”
