DIRECTV & Disney in contract dispute means NO MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL in my house. ABC? NO. ESPN? NO. So…thankful for NFL Channel and Game Center. Sorta like radio with X’s & O’s, plus stats; and some occasional live game video. Humph. I was gonna bitch. Instead I’ll be thankful for what I have access to. …

Three-Auto K9 Commune
There’s a grocery not far from my house; it’s in a shopping center with a half dozen other stores. There’s a big, shared parking lot; small trees cluster here and there in the cement-lined dirt planter boxes. And there’s three cars parked together, and a man, a woman, and maybe three to four dogs living …
Quasi-Pastor

Daily Prompt: “Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.” Twenty years back, I had the chance to visit China. A buddy was going to meet up with his high school chum, and I got to go along. I’d visited the Soviet Union / Russia three times at that point; I figured …

Seeking Satisfaction
One of my work buddies was in Hawaii recently moving his daughter into school at University of Hawaii. He shared a picture of his breakfast one morning, a delicious variation of Loco Moco. That meal got me thinking…”Hmm...I’ve got leftover hamburger patties and rice in the fridge…" And so two days in a row, the …
