I am at the beach town where I go to get off the grid, slow down, and regroup. I come down here about every ten days, now that the storms are over and there are no more power outages or falling trees. I bring my dogs, and they know they won’t get a walk, but… Continue reading In the Slow Lane

Q is for Quirky

You sit at the blank screen, the blinking cursor mocking you. You’re at the beach in a warm house with no internet. You don’t know your neighbors’ WIFI passwords. You don’t like the morning news shows. The thrift stores won’t open for two hours. Its’ too cold right now to do yard work, plus your… Continue reading Writer’s Block
