Mom is Dying
Hold the condolences. Then stay for grilled alligator with marinara, a Venn diagram of salvation, a first communion and another glimpse into the 1980s.

Are There Bears Under Your Stairs?
The first bear of the season didn't just pass through. It strolled under a neighbor's porch and moved in. I have questions. I will not be getting close enough to ask them.
Five Dollar Movies, Seat 27B
Twenty hours each way, basic economy, a guaranteed middle seat, and a business plan to sell movies from 27B.
Plowing Through the Creek for the KOM...Maybe
