Gullible Monsoon

Hello friends and fellow Bloggers.  I hope y'all're doing fine on this lovely Wednesday as I prepare to slog through another long and most likely frustrating day in court.  The Judge & I're guaranteed to have to endure a veritable monsoon of tearful sob stories from today's steady parade of misdemeanants, ne'er-do-wells, and repeat offenders. …

Ancient History

My friend Victoria at Raynotbradbury challenged me to post about an author or philosopher of the ancient world, and I have chosen Josephus.  Here are Vic’s rules for the challenge:  1) Choose an author or philosopher from Ancient times.  Country of origin doesn’t matter.  2) Share 3 of that individual’s quotes and any other info …

Steve’s Story, Part 4

I'm availing myself of the penultimate opportunity to participate in WordPress's heretofore unbroken chain of connection and collaboration that is the Daily Post before they yank it out from under us forever.  I already aired my grievances in yesterday's two  posts and have joined Judy Dykstra-Brown's urgent forum seeking to persuade WordPress to change their …

Juxtapoise

Just suppose the Daily Post and Community Pool weren't about to be ripped away from us without consultation or consent.  What then? I'm just asking. via Daily Prompt: Juxtapose

Anger, Sorrow

via Daily Prompt: Screw You, WordPress Bloggers! Those of you who've been with me for a little while know that, although I link to it frequently, I don't rely on The Daily Post for inspiration.  I have no shortage of inspiration in my own life about which to write.  I value The Daily Post and …

Ubi Sunt

Hello beloved friends and fellow Bloggers, Please forgive my recent neglect.  I've had a very busy week and must return shortly to court.  I've missed keeping up with your lovely posts but resolve to be back at it soon. While I have time, I'm responding, in my own rebellious way, to a recent "3 Days, …

A Poem, A Challenge

Yesterday I posted my poem "The Immortals" and threatened to post its sequel today.  As I slept all unawares, Victoria, my friend in Sweden who blogs as raynotbradbury, among others, nominated me for her version of the "3 Days, 3 Quotes" Blogger challenge.  Vic's a real rebel, she is, so please check out her very …

The Immortals

Except for a few brief periods in my life, I have never been much of a rebel, and even then it was mundane rebellion, the same kind, I reckon, that most American teens & 20-somethings go through on their way to real adulthood. Of course, in my line of work, I deal with rebels every …

Updated “About” Page

via About Denny Hey y'all!  I updated my "About" page in response to the Daily Post prompt "Laughter".  If you've had enough interest in me to read it before and don't want to slog through the whole thing again, the new addition is the penultimate paragraph. I have suffered this week from the dual demons …

Foo Fighters Friday

Tonight, at long last, my beloved Foo Fighters roar into Nashville like a riptide! I go to great pains to expose my kiddos to a wide variety of popular music.  The Foos have been my #1 favorite rock band since shortly after the release of their second album, The Colour and the Shape, in May …
