Snow
This morning, I woke up somewhat refreshed, as I had about seven hours of sleep under my belt. Straining through the morning fog surrounding my brain, I listened as the radio droned through the list of school closings. Howard County Public schools, closed. Just about every other county? Closed. Howard Community College? Business as usual. After chem and lab, they…

Soup and Ice Cream

Today I haven’t taken anything and it’s really not bothering me that much, so I guess that means I haven’t failed the healing process. Yet. Plus I don’t have…

Giant Story!
Here’s an interesting work story from this past Tuesday I had forgotten when I tried to write it down. I was on one of the express lanes. Even though both lanes were open there were still two huge lines of customers. Looking up in desperation I noticed two people from the old barn where I used to…

Wither
Forward he marches through scornful laughterUndaunted eyes set on hopes of here afterA gauntlet of piercing stares line his wayCondemning glares say all hate can say As he strides ever on stepsIn time with his hearts rhythm and rhymeTo the end of his dayForever seductive smile shatters senseAnd bids him acquiesce from this solitary life…
