I tore up my ankle a bit when I was 11 yrs old. I stepped on a broken Glass Milk jug in a pile of leaves.

My Dad asked me, "How you feeling? " as he drove me to the Emergency Room.

I told him, "It feels like the Sioux have tried to take off my foot"

What wit for a kid.

Can't wait to talk about the new film that originates with the boys from Nine Mile River in Nova Scotia. They were the best Gold Miners of their time.

One went on to discover the Noranda Mines.

But this film is about their time in Colorado

Sometimes, when a scene will not let you move on...

...it’s because it has more to say. It disrupts you because maybe it has more to say in a different way.

A real writer will listen to the story tell itself...and then draw the ink.

I would certainly ask the opinion of a pothead, on a story.

...but I doubt I would put one on the team. Inconsistency sucks on a deadline. Only room enough for one.

I come from a long line of pranksters. My aunt CeeCee has really bad eyesight, even with glasses. Every T-Day we give her a scratch ticket. Her son Bobby reads it for her and tells her she wins.

All the cousins chip in to pay it, unbeknownst to Auntie. Every year she wins.

... well one year Bobbie says "you won a thousand dollars"

All us cousin's eye raise and start thinking "we can't pay that much, Bobby what ya doing"

Well that year she really did win. This is our first year since CeeCee is gone. I wonder what we'll do today.

I never got where I am at by listening to those who said, "Don't"

Trust yourself, take a deep breath and dive in.

Sometimes when I say, "I'm going to do xyz"

she would respond, "Go for it" or "Give it ya best shot"

Not, "No, it will void the warranty" or "Let someone else do it"

The best gift you can give someone sometimes is "Belief"

Writing a memoir of sorts...

Coming of age story...

...the kid crosses Turtle Bridge

and grows when he gets to sit with her on the Trestle.

When I went to the courts to take a kid in as a foster parent, his abusive Father had to be there and sign off.

As we went to the car to leave his Father asked for my address to visit him. He was a big mean Dude....

....I had to get the courage up to tell the kid, "Get in the car" as I walked up to the shithead and said, "I care about this kid and you fucked up so no, you cannot have my address"

I expected a shoulder to my gut or a fist to my face, but to my surprise he said, "OK and got in his care an left"

Heard the Coyotes last night.

A half mile across the field up on this slight hilltop lies a century old campsite. Ironically it is build upon an outcropping of mammoth boulders.

The toppled on top of each other boulders make caves between them. This is where the coyote pack lives.

two worlds.

There is a whole generation that only knows what Paranoia means is because of OZZY!

It took 4.5 billion years for Aliens to find Earth and breed intelligence into the Monkey.

It only took 200k for us to get us to the brink of self extinction

Snakes eat things headfirst.

Anyone who has not learnt the downside of indecision...

The one major flaw that makes me lean towards being a misanthrope is that we continuously kill and maim each other and convince ourselves it is just.

An intelligent being is well past that ape-ish tendency.
