The celebratory Big Mac.

Leave a comment

So with a poem just published in Peeking Cat 40, that makes 10 anthologies where one of my poems or stories have appeared — plus two chapbooks on top of those.  (The first anthology would have been Dagda Publishing’s Threads eight years ago.)  When I received my copy of Peeking Cat 40 today, I promptly celebrated with MacDonald’s.  (We eat healthy at my house.)

The book is superb.  I’m thrilled to join so many talented writers from around the world in such an outstanding showcase of prose and poetry selected by Peeking Cat Literary over the past year.  Thanks once again to Editor Sam Rose!

Workers up on the Wells Fargo Tower, Roanoke, VA, October 2021

I believe I used the word “perch” here several times when I should have said “scaffolding.”  What can I say?  I’m not very good with words.  [Update — a pal of mine just told me the preferred term is actually “cradle.”  But she’s British, and they’ve got some funky linguistic differences with us — with their “flats” and their “chips” and their “bangers” and their consistently correct grammar and all that.]

The guys on the right side of the building (near the very top) are about 20 stories up.

Seen from Campbell Avenue SW, Roanoke, VA, October 2021

Pictured after the first photo are the rears of buildings that face Rorer Avenue to the north.

That building you see in the distance in the last photo before the video is the Wells Fargo Tower.

Regarding the black-and-white shots here — Roanoke is actually a very cheery place, and a clean and well kept city.  I just like draining the light and color from photos and then boosting their clarity through the roof.

Dubai or not Dubai — THAT IS THE QUESTION.

Leave a comment

Somebody posted a picture of himself saying he was in Dubai just now, and I told him that was a Dubaious claim, and now even I’m starting to wonder if I take these puns a bit too far.

I’ll be right back — I’m just going to the store Dubai milk.

Elmwood Park today.

The leaves are starting to turn.

I enhanced the color on the second picture — of the sky over The Patrick Henry building.  I couldn’t resist bringing out the blue of that sky.

“Oooooooh, I got a live one here!”

For any millennials reading this, the above headline is another one of my awesome 80’s references.

Pal of mine got me these bat Halloween decorations; they’re all over my house.  Here’s the thing, though — they look so much like Batman’s bat symbol that I might leave them affixed at key locations in my home after the holiday, the better to confer superhero lair status.  The second picture below is my bedroom door, for example.

I could go nuts.  I could have a bat-lamp.  A bat-coffeemaker.  A bat-dishwasher.  A bat-garbage can.  Can’t afford the butler, though.

It wouldn’t be heart to pull off.

I saw this sign on Luck Avenue.  If I leased a space from Poe & Cronk, I’d call them up, demand to speak directly to Poe, and complain about “THE BEATING OF THAT HIDEOUS HEART” under the floorboards.

I’d be joking, though.  (It would be just a Cronk call.)
