Experimenting

Today is my second day off junk food. I define junk food as food that is has little to no nutritional value (such as my lovelies, peanut M&Ms). Yesterday I woke up, rolled over, and landed on the floor to discover that my feet hurt. As do my shins. I’m on my feet a lot […]

Ain’t My Mama Proud of Me?

My family eats a lot of tacos. Some families grill out, some eat Kentucky Fried. We’re taco people. “A snake!” “What? No. There are no snakes at my house. There are carpenter ants in the shed and possibly wasps under the deck, but there are no snakes.” I looked at my mother with the wrinkled […]

Emo as I wanna Be

I am incredibly disappointed with myself. Not for the things I’ve done, really, although I could totally have done without that crazy stint that effectively killed any grad school dreams I might have harbored, but for the ways I’ve failed. As a kid, I either wanted to be a doctor or a writer. I am […]

Important Lessons

I tapped the bird-poo spattered cement square with the bat and scan the bases. First base, the woodshed corner, was clear, Manny on the square of cement in the middle of the sidewalk behind the pitcher that has always been second base, third (the drain pipe off the back of the house), was open.
