key lime pie
Sweethearts - Camper Van Beeth... It shoots straight into my ears and tunnels to a place that doesn't even exist anymore but I can feel the way it wants me to forget everything else but THEN. I acknowledge it and hit repeat.

But the fighter still remains
I jumped rope today like a boxer. (I had flashbacks to this mean wretched older boy on the Logan High School varsity track team. I would run by on the track and he would stomp his feet and make sounds like rumbles, like my massive body weight was somehow shaking the track- moving the land. I was ...

don't you?

originally published on 2/9/09 Twice a week I am going to throw down some reposts for nablopomo. When I was in college my most lucrative job was that of a singing telegram/flower & balloon delivery girl at Milo's balloons. I would dress in either a giant chicken or gorilla suit and bring joy to ...

David Sedaris and Dylan Thomas inside of my mouth
It's like I say we have this tradition of me reading aloud to him in the car, but it has only been the last two years. But the tradition is beginning I believe. It has been David Sedaris the last two winters. The tip tops of the Southeastern Ohio trees stark against the sky fly by and I trip ...

And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head.
It took me about 10 song shuffles to find my groove while working out tonight. I was on the bike and peddling like a wussy until I found some Dylan and then I just snapped into it. "Hurricane" came on and I rolled right back to the early nineties, back into a dark faux wood paneled living room ...

sudden silent trout
"Now she need not listen. It could not last, she knew, but at the moment her eyes were so clear that they seemed to go round the table unveiling each of these people and their thoughts and their feelings, without effort like a light stealing under water so that it's ripples and the reeds in it ...
