Come an’ get me, copper!
The cop saw me before I saw him. He had a radar detector. I had astigmatism. Hypnotized by the swirl of his ruby-red lights, I pulled over to the side.

eBook Review: Shit that Pisses Me Off
When asked to review Peg Tittle’s eBook, “Shit that Pisses Me Off,” a collection of 25 previously published essays with attitude, I couldn’t say no.

Black And True And Weird All Over.
The weirdness of life continues to dog me. Yes, its bark is as bad as its bite, and it’s also a terrible mouser. Five minutes ago, my cat sauntered into the kitchen and dropped a mouse and leaf on the floor. I don’t know if my cat is near-sighted, thought that she bagged two mice… Continue reading
