Face the Future Storms
The cat, for some strange reason known only to herself, is in the bathtub. It’s not for water – the tub should be dry from last night, and although Texas apartments have this weird feature where the AC drains into the tub, the AC isn’t running and won’t be for a while. I have no…

Odd Prompts: In Shadow
This is a snippet of something from the Tanager universe. I have no idea when, or where it fits into the series, but here you go… *** He paused on the threshold for an almost imperceptible moment, allowing the nearly invisible field to sweep him clean. That it also let him scan the comparatively dim…

N’Inktober: Finale
And the last week closes with a final piece in watercolor and ink style. I’m very pleased with my efforts this month, and looking forward to focusing on other things than art next month – as much as I love doing my art, it isn’t exactly received with much comment, so I’ll go back to…

Smoke gets in your…
Mouth? I’ve spent most of a lifetime being chased around a campfire by smoke. You know the drill, if you’ve spent any time camping at all. You snuggle up to the warmth of your tiny blaze, and then the smoke gets in your eyes. You move, and it follows… Plus, when you get back out…

Odd Prompts: Have a Beer
I don’t know that I’ll revisit this, but it was fun to write. **** Micah heard the front door, but didn’t look up from his task. It would be one of his housemates, more than likely. He didn’t look up until the footsteps came closer, then stopped as there was a tapping at the open…

N’Inktober Week 4
I didn’t think it would be a problem to do this month of daily art challenge – I’ve been making art every day continuously for a while now. I am pleased with myself for having taken the time to be more detailed than my usual daily art, at least. There was a question, about a…

It’s Friday
I’ve got about ten minutes before I need to toss some food in a sack, slop coffee in a cup, and go. Funny how it is. It’s not that I’m not looking forward to being at work. I have some good puzzles to work through while I’m there, and the possibility of being handed more…

Odd Prompts: Snip of Groundskeeper
I’m thinking this one may wind up titled ‘Groundskeeper: Bringing Home the Dead’ **** Mark, half materialized, whooshed past her and got into the other ghost’s face. “What do you mean by this?” He demanded, reaching out toward the fading figure. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” The other ghost drifted backward, away from Mark, and into…

The Grocery Rut
I’ve managed to amuse and amaze my coworkers recently. In describing some part of my childhood I casually mentioned that we would drive five hours, one way, to the grocery store. “What!?” Well, yes. Interior Alaska small town had a grocery store, a little one, and the prices were wild. I remember milk at $8…

Ramen and Rice
My son has, mostly through watching anime, become enamoured of cooking and eating Japanese food. The First Reader isn’t big on the flavor profile (tends toward fishy, he says) but he loves Korean food, and I’ve learned to cook some dishes for him. I’ve always been a rice snob, I was born to it. Before…
