A little more fiction
The hitter It was the bottom of the ninth, two outs, bases loaded when Eddy stepped to the plate. He couldn’t believe this moment had really come – the perfect moment, the perfect baseball cliché. The game was on the line, heroics were in order. And he was ready – never been readier – to […]
HookerTee from LV
For those of you who haven’t been to Las Vegas, there are people all along the strip wearing these tees who hand out advertisements for hookers — I just had to have one (a shirt, not a hooker).
Three Aztec Gods
This is on the side of a taqueria in Highland Park. It took me a minute to sort out who it is. I’m left wondering, however, what Psalms 37 and John 2 have to do with Larry, Curly, and Moe. (Click for a larger view.)

Finally we know why he’s called Squarepusher–it’s the perfect enactment of […]
Anxious racists are the worst
There have been a couple of news items recently that have led me to start conversations about how certain journalists are racist. I posted a few things on Facebook, and brought them up to people I know, thinking that of the people I know, they’re at least the sort who would acknowledge that these are […]
A little fiction
Here is a thing I wrote. I hope you like it. The Lottery It wasn’t until the jackpot hit $62 million that Sharon even considered buying a ticket. Until that point, she’d never really paid attention to the lottery. As far as she was concerned, “Powerball” might be some obscure Olympic event dominated by Romanians. […]
