Story of a thought.
Yesterday, tired only in the way you can be after a night of free booze and wedding dancing, I sank deep into a plush couch until I could no longer move my arms enough to reach any one of the three remotes. Imagine little Randy in his bundles of winter coats rolling around helplessly in […]
Happy Easter, World
April 8, 2012
Inspired by Ottsworld‘s Good Friday post, I’ve put together a collage of my many religious encounters across the globe. Included below are churches, mosques, cemeteries, monuments, memorials and anything else that channels the bigger-than-us entities that so many worship. Whatever you choose to believe or disbelieve, there is beauty to be found here. So on […]
Bottle Openers & Parisian Spring Nights
February 7, 2012
Inspired by CreativeWritingPrompts.com, prompt #1: Of all the things I brought back from my travels through Europe last Spring, the most outwardly boring is a bottle opener.

“So the journey is over and I am back again where I started, richer by much experience and poorer by many exploded convictions, many perished certainties. For convictions and certainties are too often the concomitants of ignorance.” -Aldous Huxley Where I started is Kentucky, the beautiful Bluegrass. Since 2005, I’ve ventured off to far away […]
The Real Life Boy Amélie
March 29, 2011
It’s an understatement to say that we’re all a bit inundated with viral videos, cute animal photos, and online celebrity gossip. This is not any of those.
