Lying Down with Dogs

 
 
I noticed , tonight,
 
that after the scraps of Christmas paper

that  had fallen from the tree
 
was  cleaned  up from  the rug;

Dropping the Hammer on Tony Snow


As I was scrolling through the 2008 Obituaries (of the famous and near famous),  I was reminded again that Fox News Reporter turned White House spokesman Tony Snow had died earlier this year from brain cancer. And, again, I was reminded how I’d felt when Mr. Snow died.

A Question for Hunter S. Thompson

For the past couple of days,  a heavy, scented Caribbean mass of air has been climbing north and raking itself over Cuba;  bringing with it the earthy, soft scents that - you'd recognize if you've been to that place - wreak of sadness.

Please. Could You PleaseStop Believing, Please?



What I like to blog about is the madcap hilarity of watching “the smartest men in the room” getting jack knifed for billions by Barnard Madoff.  

Can’t you just see them wandering dazed through the deserted halls of their Palm Beach or Long Island mansions in soiled

Who Listens to Drunk?


 

After dinner, I stepped out to the patio with my wine glass and settled into an Adirondack chair.  Annie had painted it with blotches orange and red hibiscus and creeping honey vine. A few streets over out in the darkness, two of Hemmingway’s cats were yowling and

Tattoo You


To the most viciously  tattooed,  all I have is a sort of  ambiguous pity.  Like I reserve for  mangled survivors of “freak” accidents.  Those odd, self-inflicted injuries they describe as “freak”,  but  whose result was never in hones

Handful of Stones

 
 
My friend Davey Arliss pitched for his baseball team,  so the bare fact he couldn’t  link more than a few lusterless hops across the water - even with a proper skipping rock - was a mystery.

Army-Gateway to the Wold



Maybe I wasn’t thinking straight, too much liqueur and foul madness last night, but the driver had me spooked. I was thinking twice about lighting up in his cab.  Something’s not right.

Finding Goshen

 
goshen On a map of northern Florida, Goshen is just a tiny scratch inked in along the banks of the St. Johns River. And,  I was about to say I moved here almost two weeks ago Friday.
