I see by the number of views it received that my column about those who communicate on the Interwebs adding to world peace by just chilling a little and not feeling it is necessary to cry out in righteous indignation at every little thing was about as successful as a solicitation for funds toContinue reading “Owed to a Skylark”

FUZZ ORDAINED: Twilight
“They always talk about remembering.” Meadow Saffron took a double handful of flower petals and flung these after the couple moving along the sidewalk. “It’s what we do,” Primrose told her. “They won’t forget when WE help them Do It. This one wasn’t so easy though.” “It was fun.” Bluebell shaped aContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Twilight”
Meeses
I do not have all that many postcards in my inventory which feature rats. This is not something I ever expected to have to apologize for, but in my most recent column, in which I told the thrilling tale of my courage in the face of a nonexistent rat, I used as illustration aContinue reading “Meeses”
Saving the Day
I have a question for you comic book experts out there. I did my time in the world of comics fandom, but that was back in the days when I could buy a boxful of new comics for about twenty bucks. No that was NOT in the days when they were a dime. I’mContinue reading “Saving the Day”
FUZZ ORDAINED: Anna and Shannon
Anna set her groceries down on the sidewalk first, and then let herself thump down on the bench. She swept the back of one hand across her eyes. Then she leaned back and crossed her ankles in front of her. Anna Eleanor, she told herself, it’s a food thing your parents aren’t aroundContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Anna and Shannon”
FICTION FRIDAY: Garden Gate
“Any you guys want to pray a bit, we got some time.” It was not a whisper, but the gruff voice was no louder than one. I looked around to see if one of the neighbors had a window open, and I was getting some Sunday afternoon movie. Kneeling in the garden, IContinue reading “FICTION FRIDAY: Garden Gate”
Boldly Going
In my boy days, we were always getting articles about how Jules Verne had predicted the future. This was a major theme in the world in those days: Jules Verne had predicted space travel, high-powered submarines, television, and who knows what all else. There was a reason that the government named its first nuclearContinue reading “Boldly Going”
FUZZ ORDAINED: Banners and Bakers
“That was fun,” said Bluebell, tossing flower petals to the left and to the right, and then over her head. Primrose, who was standing on her head to scratch an ankle with one hand, pointed an accusatory finger with the other. “You said they were boring.” Blubell nodded. “That’s what it wasContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Banners and Bakers”
FICTION FRIDAY: Before the Ink Was Dry
“That’s all you need, then?” The translator took its usual two-heartbeat delay in showing the reply. “Yes, Your Magnificence. With your digital signature, we can proceed immediately.” Yellowe nodded, and typed in a question he’d had answered before but wanted to read again. “And my people won’t know it’s happening?” AnotherContinue reading “FICTION FRIDAY: Before the Ink Was Dry”
Ooze Oo R Ooo?
If you hate baby talk, you have a lot of company. One of Irving Berlin’s lesser hit songs dealt with how it set his teeth on edge, and I have been running through the bookshelves in my brain to come up with authors who made the attempt successfully. I had no problem with aContinue reading “Ooze Oo R Ooo?”
