Spillwords Press features “Ode to a Polish Plum Cake”

Spillwords Press today featured my short poem, “Ode to a Polish Plum Cake.”  You can find it right here.

Thanks, as always, to Chief Editor Dagmara K. for allowing me to be a part of this truly fun creative community!



The Piker Press publishes my photo of some stragely darkened hills in Woodbridge, Virginia

The Piker Press today featured what might be my favorite photo of mine — a shot of a mid-afternoon Northen Virginia neighborhood that was suddenly and virtually eclipsed by heavy clouds racing over the area.

It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen, and I happened to be there at just the right time.  You can see the photo right here.

Thanks, as always, to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for allowing me to be a part of the creative community of The Piker Press!



I apologize for this post.

Libertarian friend: “There is another option!  Chase Oliver!  He’s on the ballot!”

Me: “I would Chase Oliver but I wouldn’t know what to do if I caught him.”

You know it.

ParaNolan Activity.

The lights flickered and a bulb started crackling; then the tv turned itself on.

That means an angel got its wings, or got caught in the power lines, or something.



People who say “I don’t trust the polls” are just being racist.

Polish people are just as honest as anybody else.




(I never really did anything with my psych major anyway.)

Gonna start a Pink Floyd cover band with a couple of other psych majors, gonna call it “Jung Lust.”

My buddy Gary Monte saw me posting this on Facebook and chimed in with this: “I started one called ‘Run Like Hell’ and we were so bad, that’s exactly what the audience did!”



Gen X’ers know how serious this is.

There’s something fishy going on in my kitchen.

Salmon burgers!  Two for $5 at Kroger.

If you need to save money on groceries, you can’t beat those in-store deals.  They had similar deals for chicken and pork.

I know that I’m Shanty Irish, and that my foodie friends are typically aghast at the choices I make but …a little ketchup on salmon really does the trick.



Happy Halloween!

Have fun and be safe.  If you are going out partying, then designate a driver.  Or, better yet, BE the designated driver.
