Among other amusements, I like to write.  I write essays mainly.  Occasionally, I'll include the odd short story and I'm currently working on a novella.  This is the place where I will put the pieces I have to share.  I sure hope you enjoy them!

NEW THIS WEEK

Thank Me, Come Again!

 

 

WHEN WE WERE YOUNG

The pieces in this section are a series of essays I've written about my early life living with my parents and my two younger sisters.  Enjoy!

On The Street Where I Lived - The first in the series.

Just Wait Til Your Husband Comes Home!  -  Another in the series of childhood essays, where the tables are turned.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, How Shiny Are Your Branches? - A heartfelt story of a Christmas past.

I'll Witchiepoo You! - Proof positive that television can get a kid into trouble.

Capitalism 101 - Sometimes I wonder why we were ever let out on our own.

We Gave At The Orifice - Mr. Science had nothing on us.

A License? I Can't Drive! - The story of our first run-in with The Law.

Lessons Learned - Mama had a unique style. 

 

CHOCOLATE PUDDING ON THE CEILING

These essays really don't belong with the others, in my opinion.  They all involve a stretch of about five months after our mother was involved in a catastrophic accident.  Our poor father was left to care for us on his own without really knowing how.   These are more a sort of twisted love letter to my parents for showing strength during that time and teaching me something along the way. 

Happy Birthday To Me
