- As sure as death, writers have those bloodied moments – frenzied passings of time made up of the abandonment of passion and craft for fear and self-consciousness. But there is Good, and some of us have seen the Good. People are willing to connect, to truly read and listen and think about the words we’re saying at once so eagerly and timidly. The words are Gods and Devils: they elevate us and ...

- If you’re on the outside of the door, does that make you an outsider? I’ve learned through the years that most people feel like an outsider at some time in his or her life. It begins early, this feeling of alienation. It’s rare that a person can point to a single incident that closed the door to a place of desire or belonging. Some people block—whether practiced or ...

- Facebook may be passé in ten years (maybe less), but for now it's a virtual pub for the global village.

- How would you like to face this mess every day?I'm in the revision process (on a page like this, the "rewriting process" is a more accurate term.) Every day, I go through a few chapters and scribble all over them, as you can see here. Then I start typing the changes into the document. It's arduous, though as usual, I must add it's not as arduous as fighting fires or teaching junior ...

- Sometimes I like to sit down with no thoughts in my head, no feelings in my heart and just see what comes out.This is one of those times.Where as my life was mostly repetitious a month ago, these days its nearly spontaneous. This is quite a departure from the way I normally like things. I like routine. I like simple lazy days full of hobbies. I like hanging out with my wife and kids. I like ...

- It's been an interesting year, to state the obvious. KidOne and KidThree have made a lot of progress personally, and KidTwo has made a huge geographic life change. I've gotten to the point of being able to support KidThree and me while not working outside the home, and expect that next year will get us on an even financial keel. I started out the year owing the local library so much money, ...

- This was a good year for epigrammists. Politics and the economy were going up, down and sideways. Plenty of the best and worst of human nature was in evidence. Out with the old and in with the new might be coming true. We can only hope. I've completed my second book of epigrams and am well into my third.

- First day back at school: sky August blue, puffy scudding clouds. I walk away from the classroom, feeling...what is it? I put my heavy book bag in the trunk of my car. I've been a bag lady for years. Twenty-four of them. Count them. I count them. Twenty-four. Loneliness moves through me like wind. I'm this tree that's been here forever. I look at the parking lot. I've looked at this same ...
