New York
I was in New York once on business. I stayed in a company unit and ate most of my meals at home, but once I decided to eat out. I had an expense account, but I didn’t want to over spend. After reviewing the menu I realized, I had picked the wrong restaurant. It was… Continue reading

Cat’s Chair
My cat is always taking my chair, the one in my office or the one where I watch television. I have a shirt depicting a cat asking why I am in his chair. It’s so spot on. Sometimes I don’t fight him; he’s too darn cute, looking at me declaring his territory. Other times, I… Continue reading

Writing
Years ago I developed a practice of writing something new every day. I went over three years without missing a day. I did this to help me prioritize my writing as important to me. I grew up in a family that discouraged creative activity. In college an English professor said I was a rotten writer.… Continue reading

Learning
I almost want to say I’m curious about everything. I like to learn. I take classes to learn new things. While I watch shows, I look up the background of the actors and the movies. It’s something I got from my mother, she did the same thing by reading. I use my phone. It was… Continue reading

Think Small
I don’t have many deeds I can put a story around. I have the many little things, like trying to always smile when I encounter someone, not making a big deal out of little errors, being courteous to people in public service even when I’m frustrated, and saying thank you. I figure that any little… Continue reading

Cat Who Would Be King
My cat, a white and gray long hair Main Coon, is my shadow, which is also his name. I fight him for my chairs. Occasionally I battle with him for the coveted seats, but most of the time I give up. He’s persistent. He also harasses me until I feed him. He better watch it… Continue reading

The Bond of Traditions
My wife and I wanted to establish traditions for our kids, annual trips to the orchard, going to the theater on a holiday, breakfast in bed on birthdays and Easter Egg hunts to name a few. My Mom did the egg hunt bit, boiling eggs, letting us color them, then hiding them for us to… Continue reading

Flippant
Today’s prompt is a silly little question, so I have a silly little answer. Today was not typical, because the outside temperature was pleasant, not hot and humid which is normal for this time of year. The news tells stories of the world on fire, record heat waves, but where I live everything is looking… Continue reading

Bashful
I was taught not to brag. It seems unnatural to describe myself. I have a book published but I don’t know how to get it noticed because I’m terrible at self-promotion. I am more comfortable stating how others describe me: honest, accepting, giving, funny and loyal. Then, I concur, but I’m blushing. Continue reading

Bronto
The first dinosaur that captured my imagination was the Brontosaurus. Sure the illustrations are sort of dull, gray, slow, and smooth featureless skin, but it was majestic and graceful. When I was a kid I made a diorama of a prehistoric scene, featuring a Brontosaurus trapped in a tar pit with a menacing Saber Tooth… Continue reading
