The last two years, I’ve written in the month leading up to my birthday. I also write in November. I am starting late this year, however. This week has kind of been a week from hell. My in-laws had to put their dog to sleep on Sunday. Tuesday I got laid off. Again. Third time … Continue reading “Double Deuce”
Recap, reaction. Well, sixth year complete. I’m not terribly satisfied with what I’ve written, but I did it again. It really has gotten the writing moving again. This summer’s month didn’t do that as much. Same goes for work, which is sorta kicking my ass at the moment. But at least I’m getting paid sort … Continue reading “30”
What are your holiday plans for Christmas? There’s not a lot set in stone so far. I know my brother and his wife are coming down to my mom’s place, so we’ll head up there at some point to see them. We will also go visit my in-laws. Plan to take a trip with my … Continue reading “29”
Free Write. It’s just after three in the morning, and I’m writing because I’m “woke as fuck<” or something. (Isn’t that what the kids are writing these days? I blame the folks over at Mouthy Broadcast for that one.) Was strange figuring out yesterday that it’s been a decade now since I was last on the radio. … Continue reading “24”
Write about three things you did for the first time in the past year. Okay, so three things I’ve done this year that I’d never done before. Please excuse the odd organization; i started with bullets, and I’m not sure if that was the correct way to go. There’s multiple paragraphs for each. Of course, … Continue reading “Eighteen”
Okay, I’m supposed to find something I wrote five years ago, and say how things are the same or different. From NoJoMo 2011: NJM Day 15 – 11/15/2011 1. Using a maximum of 15 songs, what is the playlist of your life so far? This one is really tough, because my life’s been so damn odd. … Continue reading “Fifteen”
Write about your parents.. Kinda half-assign this one; my dad’s been gone six years next month. He spent 24 years as an Army officer. He’s now at Section 54, grave 5049 in Arlington National Cemetery. His wife of nearly 40 years, my mother is still living. She’s living in the house they bought as he … Continue reading “Seven”
Mistakes. Name your biggest ones That, though visually-stunning, a mistake As I’ve said a few times, not angling for more money from the four-letter company That trip this morning I’ll write a bit about number three. I told the scheduler I needed to be at my work site by 7:30 in the morning. They scheduled … Continue reading “Fifteen”
I promised yesterday to dig out some of my various bits about the Saints. I’m going to try to explain each as best I can remember. Prompt for tomorrow early, since I probably won’t want to search to the end of this incredibly-long replay…. My dad was in the Army when I was growing up. … Continue reading “Twenty-eight”
What was the last thing on your mind as you fell asleep last night? Last night? Can I say awake long enough to see Weekend Update? No, no I couldn’t. Last night’s SNL was a rerun of Jim Carrey’s episode. It’s kind of incredible how many of the current comedians did impressions of his old stuff. … Continue reading “Nine”
