So many things I could say. So many things that I shouldn’t… Previously shared in “Crusty Pie”.
10 Surreal Conversations at a Typical Drive-Thru Restaurant
Navigational Tip: “PTO” stands for “Person Taking Order”, a non-denominational bit of vagueness that will allow you to visualize said order-taker in a manner that best adheres to your own experiences. And here we go… ONE PTO: “Welcomecrackintheboxyourorder?” Me: “Okay, I believe you just attempted to greet […]
Blogger Spotlight: Tina at “faeriefiles”
As most of you know, I love a good story about an ordinary day suddenly escalating into something unexpected. So, when I landed on this short little jewel from Tina, I just had to share. Enjoy… Yes, It’s Dead. Yes, I Killed It. Apparently it’s fairly […]
Present Tense – #14
Doctor Buzzkill: “Brian, we’ve talked about this before. Why would you even contemplate letting anything like this get anywhere near your mouth? You have an issue with cholesterol, something that we have discussed so many times that I might as well just play a recording instead of trying […]
Some Completely Random Thoughts Concerning a Certain Situation, Partially Inspired by Old- School Music Lyrics and Mostly of No Relevance Whatsoever
Okay, this one is a bit loopy, even for me, but I swear it’s not the result of my over-imbibing this evening, despite my last six posts that chronicled an endless cautionary tale about my fondness for libations. I will admit to possibly over-consuming a startling amount of […]

Dispatches from the Wasteland: The Unusual Suspects Amid the Aroma of Bad Parenting and Leftover Sushi
Note: Continuing with our theme of “people who are underappreciated for their appreciation of the performing arts” that has somewhat permeated the last two posts, here’s an excerpt from one of my work-in-progress books, “Cruise Control”. Setting the scene: Detectives Collin Oskopy (beleaguered, overworked, possibly alcoholic) and Virginia […]
Sunday in the Park with Brian: Therapy Session #33 (The “Yet Another Example of My Inability to Function as an Adult” Version)
Dearest Friends, Casual Acquaintances, and Past Lovers Who Pine for Me Endlessly (at least in my imagination): Some of you are aware that my tormented soul was tormented even further by an unplanned (and unbudgeted) root canal a mere three days ago. (If you are not aware, all […]
Past Imperfect – #136
