The Piker Press publishes “An Ode to a Would-Be Swimmin’ Skink”

Leave a comment

The Piker Press today published my humorous nature poem, “An Ode to a Would-Be Swimmin’ Skink!”  For those of you who are uninitiated, a skink is a little lightning-quick iridescent lizard common in the Southern United States.)  And they even ran the photo I submitted with the poem!  (I snapped a shot of the little fella off Shenandoah Avenue here in Roanoke, VA.)

You can find the poem and the photo right here.  Thanks, as always, to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful community of readers, writers and artists.

Happy Monday!  🙂

I’m not sure how you arrived at that decision, but I wish you all luck with it.  Even if you are getting too old for me.

My breakfast this morning was in the shape of a FedEx delivery driver.  I have no idea why this occurred.

Look at him in his little brimmed cap!

Throwback Thursday: these “nice threads!”

Leave a comment

YES, we looked like this — and we looked ****ing AWESOME.  We need to bring this whole style BACK.

My only concern about this meme is that it originates from the 1980’s Memory Lane Facebook page, and I was dressing like this at Mary Washington College in the early 1990’s.  Was I just behind the times?  Maybe that was why people looked at me funny.

But I was big man on campus with these.  I had people literally congratulating me on my pants — and that has not happened once since the 1990’s.

Blockbust.

Leave a comment

You want to know how old I am?  I can remember when Blockbuster Video was The Next Big Thing.  It was a monolithic blue titan of a company that was gobbling up mom-and-pop video stores in whatever town it landed in.   Think of Goya’s “Saturn Devouring His Son.”

Yes … I realize that the meme below is now a bit dated, as today Netflix is infamously suffering its own problems.  It’s still funny, though.
