On July 12, 2018 I, and two friends, went to Milwaukee, WI for a day of fun and food. We started out at Float, a place that has sensory deprivation tanks. That’s right, you pay someone money to float in a pool of very salted water, in a pod that blocks out of all light… Continue reading Milwaukee adventures

Daily Prompt: Blink
via Daily Prompt: Blink When I saw this Daily Prompt, I immediately knew I had to write a story. The start of the story, the first line kept, well, blinking in my mind. The story came slowly, forming over a few hours. When I finally had the short story mostly written in my head, the… Continue reading Daily Prompt: Blink
Daily Prompt: Shock
via Daily Prompt: Shock Shock. I could have gone a lot of ways with this one. I’ve decided to introduce you to Birdemic: Shock and Terror. My fiancé and I like watching bad movies. Especially things like Sharknado, Sharktopus and many movies that end up on MST3K and RiffTrax. We have found some absolute gems,… Continue reading Daily Prompt: Shock
Agile
via Daily Prompt: Agile Penguin: waddles around, heavy body swaying to a song, only it hears. It travels miles to water, finally arriving, falling into the ocean, where a new creature is seen. Agile and swift, it flies, no more gravity to impede it.
Daily Prompt: Loophole
via Daily Prompt: Loophole This is a tough one. This makes me want to talk about my job, but due to its delicate nature, I don’t think that’s a good idea. Suffice it to say: if you get caught using a loophole, and are told it’s against policy, don’t do it again. It makes you… Continue reading Daily Prompt: Loophole

Entertain
via Daily Prompt: Entertain That prompt is great timing. It means I get to talk about what entertained me last night. Last night, I went to a show at a local bar to hear a band called The Saps. It was their last show in my area. They have one more show before they break… Continue reading Entertain
Static (Electricity)
via Daily Prompt: Static This is my first Daily Prompt. I figured it might get me writing more. These might end up being stream of consciousness, or boring or whatever. I’m trying and that’s all I care about. I live in the Midwest where we have very cold winters, snow and more cold and more… Continue reading Static (Electricity)
Life doesn’t always suck
This was originally written in early July 2017. TL;DR: My friends are amazing. I am lucky to have them. I’m home with MS issues today, but I have been feeling strong emotions lately and wanted to get this out there. While on my trip to AZ, I read an article by a fellow widow. It… Continue reading Life doesn’t always suck
The Future’s so Bright…
The first time I remember hearing “The Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades” by Timbuk3, I was getting ready to leave for high school. This was somewhere between 1989-1993. The TV was on, to a rerun of Head of the Class. I had my trench coat on and my backpack was slung over my… Continue reading The Future’s so Bright…
