Hump Days Are Just Fine – The Great Imposter
Today is Wednesday, the eternal Hump Day, when we all just try to get over the mid-week/work-week hump so we can focus on getting to Friday. But today that hump looks a lot less challenging, because yesterday was a great day. The latest magazine article dropped where I got to talk about The Claire Saga […]
The Back Nine
Found this ball during one of my Berthoud morning rounds. Right there along the western side of County Road 23 South. I’ve never played golf, unless you count those fun putt-putt miniature golf courses over by Orchard Beach where you try to thread Windmills and Giant Heads and bank around corners. I understand that the […]
Day Of Rest, My Ass!
While my asses spent most of Sunday resting out front. This ass was out back making sure that all of their comforts of daily living were being provided. You see, you really need to do the outdoor chores when it rises above freezing or everything gets all screwed up for the week. Strike while the […]
Sometimes Quiet Days Are Just What You Need
It stayed cool yesterday, just below freezing, which is relatively balmy. But there was moisture in the air, which made it seem colder. The mules had their 5 week mani-pedi in the morning. Surprisingly, Honey surrendered pretty quickly in her round of ringolevio. She even accepted peppermint treats from me, which she never does. Then […]
Alexa Is The New Cheers – Where Everybody Knows Your Name
Now, if any of you have been long time blog readers (according to Claire’s Theorem the sustainable daily readership is limited to five different readers on any given posting) you will know that my Alexa AI has been my constant female indoor companion during these past seven years on Casa Claire, while Lisa has been […]
Guerrilla Marketing – Ms. Kreizman’s Debut Article for Literary Hub Is Brilliant! – Oh, And Fuck Trolls
Banksy rules. Graffiti has arguably been around for centuries – I mean think back to the drawings on cave walls. The modern concept of graffiti made its appearance back in the last century. Some say the 1960s. My first memory of a graffiti artist was Taki 183 – who was a Greek kid from 183rd […]
Per Diem Nursing Rocks – Carpe Diem
I love my wife, I really do. Lisa has been a wonderful partner. She has put up with so much of my bullshit drama for a very long time. I know, that is hard to believe. Me? Hard to live with?! Come on, I’m sure even Santa Claus has his challenging moments. But, as you […]
Relative Comfort
Last night, as I came in from feeding Claire and Honey their last meal for the day at around 7 p.m. I was staring up at a purely magical crescent moon – with a sneaky Christian cross shimmering behind it (no doubt placed there at the request of Peter Sheridan) – contemplating how just a […]
Outdoors In Negative 14 Degrees Fahrenheit – A Personal Record
Okay, I did have images of me stepping through the sliding glass doors this morning and literally freezing through and through, like I had been hit by Arnold Schwarzenegger’s version of Mr. Freeze’s ice rays in one of those early Batman movies. But the human parts of me are a lot more resilient then you […]
Three Months Out – Top 100 Bestsellers – Synchronicity
Nothing warms the soul on a cold day better than finding that all five books of The Claire Saga were again grouped together in the top 100 Best Sellers in Humorous Science Fiction. and last but not least, and the biggest surprise given that it is still three months out from its publishing date, Now […]
