Tim couldn’t quite reach the back of the grill with his stumpy little arms. It was infuriating, however today he decided not to deal with it in the typical manner (eating the grill) – he decided to simply get Frank to flip the burgers. Unfortunately Frank was even more disabled than Tim. (I think I …
#6 – An Open Letter to the Coffee Bean

While I, myself, enjoy a cup of coffee on a regular basis, I have yet to experience all mood changes, productivity lapses, anti-social behavior incidents, temporary bouts of insanity, …

#1 Bob the Turtle & Jim The Bunny
It’s been a pretty stressful month for me, so to release, I figure I should start a new creative writing project called A Short Story a Day. Today’s short story is a bit whimsical (and uses a bit of ‘strong’ language, so reader discretion is advised) and is my start on this journey. Let’s see …

What Is The RCIP?
RCIP is the abbreviation I’m using for something that is definitely not a diet. No sir, no way, it’s not a diet at all. Diet means, at least to me, that I’d deny myself parts of my life that I find highly enjoyable in the vain goal of looking better. Diets are what stick-thin people …
