I saw my sister this evening. Not because I wanted to. I’d gone to my aunt’s house to get some papers from her that she needed me to fax. My sister came out of the shadows as I was getting back into the car in the driveway. “Hey, brother,” she said holding a Happy Meal …

Writober 10-9-2019-Swing
Earlier, I thought I gonna write a whole rap song about swinging for the fences because of today’s word. Five hours after not being able to figure out why my computer takes like 10 minutes to boot into Windows, I just wanted to swing my brand new computer into the garage door. But I didn’t. …
Writober 10-08-2019-Frail
It’s another late one. My new computer is apparently frail as it failed to boot after a restart today. I want to blame it on Microsoft because there was an update that installed, but who frickin’ knows. I couldn’t even get the thing to boot into the repair mode but later it looked like that …

Today’s word suuuuuucks. Husky is either a dog, a brand of some kind, I forget if it’s pants or tools (just looked it up, it’s a tool brand at Home Depot), or you know, fat. Maybe I can say it like hoo sky? Or something that is too much of a husk or of husking? …

I was back at the kitchen table again, and it was freezing there. Not making this up because today’s word is freeze. It’s always cold there, where we do the boy’s homework and eat dinner. Yeah, I’m the guy who makes his kid do his homework on Friday night. I could’ve told the robot to …

Writober 10-02-2019 – Mindless
I got to this late today, so I’m typing in bed, which is physically awkward. I got my legs raised up and the bottom of the laptop is against my legs. Screen is tilted down toward me and I can see the letters pop up on the screen at this weird angle. But this is …
Writober-10-01-2019
I was going to do inktober, which involved drawing, and less effort. But, my friend challenged me to write something every day in October. I thought, oh I can do both, but seeing as how it’s already 9:30pm, I guess that won’t be happening. I haven’t written in a long time. Mostly because I’m worried …
