Choose an animal. Write about it!   (Note: I am a day behind. I didn’t really want to write about this and I had some things going wrong with my MBA class. I have dealt with those issues now, but I will not get caught up tonight.)   Gorilla. I’m not sure why I chose […]

Write something inspired by a recent dream you had.   I was finishing up my last semester for my MBA and preparing to teach classes at Northeast. My child was now two or three years old. Old enough to walk fairly well. I couldn’t tell if it turned out to be a boy or a […]

Write about a rocket-ship on it’s way to the moon or a distant galaxy far, far, away.   Like a thousand sparklers streaking by in darkness, the stars of this galaxy stood still as the craft flashed passed them. The silence of space is shocking when you move this quickly. The speed of this new […]

How do you feel when you love someone who does not love you back?   Here I am again tonight, thinking nothing will be alright, I poured out my heart, but perhaps you missed that part, It seems like all I do, is nothing but a game to you, I hate to feel like I’m […]

What’s the weather like outside your window?   The weather outside my window tonight is calm and warm. It is cooler and much less humid than it has been. The skies are partly cloudy, but not enough to block out the moon. The moon has been beautiful lately and lights up our neighborhood. It is […]
