  • Backward Day

    A young twenty-something man was waving at people gawking at him in the parking lot while loading several pounds of burgers, loaves of bread, and cartons of beer into the trunk of our car. My boyfriend Tony was a sight to behold in any crowd, with his blonde hair and muscular build. But today, what was catching the crowd’s attention was his inside-out shirt, pants, and canvas hat. I’m not too worried about people reporting my eccentrically clad hunny-bunny to the police. Rambling, crazy locals were normal for the day before the Superbowl when every adult in our town was on shopping duty. The c...wF3one door

    Jeff’s Crash

    Honey, you got some mail,” called Jeff’s wife Lisa from the kitchen. “Let’s see what we got today,” Jeff began. “Bill, bill...bill. Nothing.” Lisa stopped Jeff as he went to walk away, “Wait Honey there’s something else.” “Oh yeah my Golf Digest. Good looking out Lis,” said Jeff. “No, Jeff, you have an invitation,” said Lisa. “It’s to your twentieth high school reunion. You missed your tenth and your fifteenth don’t you think you should at least try to make it to this one?” Jeff thought then said, “Maybe you’re right. I do miss my highschool friends. What day is the reunion? The 26th? Up no c...wF3one door
