ANGRY PEOPLE PULL MORE ANGER

May 25, 2023 by

Angry people need an audience like a bird needs air, like a fish needs water. Without other people the angry one is a solo yeller. With other people they are a leader calling out ‘THE TRUTH.’ That’s when ‘the truth’ takes a dive.

My best neighbor of all time was also a king-pin. He owned a construction company and hired convicts. The idea was getting people out of prison and onto a better life. To get started, and early release, they needed a job and place to live.

April 30, 2023 by

The intimate personal is the #1 Rule of memoirists, novelists, poets, playwrites, noodlers, doodlers, and bloggers. Their readers want to know things, not necessarily first hand. Something on a page, or screen, is more than enough. But, someone’s still got to get it there. Some of my favorites:
