Look Inside My Head Day Eight: Robot Heart

  I spent today in the ER with my son.  He had a bad fall, and with a bad fall comes “complications”.  He’s all right, but he had to have a CT scan of his head and his spine, and we’re all nervous wrecks.  He pulled out his IV needle, and I was covered in his blood.  It broke my … Read More

Day Six: Bones

          We all feel like we need to turn in our parent’s license every now and then.  This is my son’s leg.  He broke it on the in-ground trampoline last year…on his birthday.  We screamed, “Eat the cake!” to the guests as we ran past.

Day Six: Gargoyles

  This picture hangs in my living room.  I love everything that Michael Parkes ever painted. I pulled out an old piece tonight.  Mmm, I recaptured the magic.

I Second That

Um, yeah.  What he said.  🙂 MATT BETTS: HWA Countdown And thanks to Violet Hilton for making the graphic. She gave it to Matt, but all’s fair in love and HWA challenges, so I shamelessly ripped it off. Bwa ha!

Day Two

Also, here is a brief essay that I wrote about a typical day.  I originally posted it in January. A Broken Laptop by Mercedes M. Yardley Her son pulls eight keys from the keyboard.  Her daughter finishes it off, making it a nice and even twenty.  This slows the writer down some. The telephone rings.  It is her best friend.  … Read More

Look Inside My Head

1) Post ten of any pictures currently on your hard drive that you think are self-expressive. 2) NO CAPTIONS!!! It must be like we’re speaking with images and we have to interpret your visual language just like we have to interpret your words. 3) They must ALREADY be on your hard drive – no googling or flickr! They have to … Read More
