  • What Katy Did

    Katy arrived on my doorstep drenched from a summer shower with a single plastic bag full of her belongings. Her social worker, Siobhán, smoked under a chic umbrella, dark sunglasses over red lipstick. I offered Katy a towel, while Siobhán stubbed out her cigarette in my trinket dish and tossed her sopping umbrella over a houseplant. It didn’t take long to give the house tour of my ramshackle home. The two trailed along behind me, Siobhán inspecting, Katy drifting, as aimless as a ghost. I opened Katy’s room and stepped aside.

    Everyday Lawn Care

    Everyday Lawn Care By John RaabEvery morning I wake up before my alarm clock goes off because I have a lovely little rescued mutt named Harlow who incessantly whines just inches from my face, around 5:00 A.M. If I refuse to arise and walk her at that ungodly early hour, then I know a certain shitty aroma will soon waft my way. A wake-up turd. So, she has me well trained to take her out. I do not have her trained, she has me trained; some of my friends tell me it is still better than having a wife. Maybe someday I will find “The One.” Last Thursday, then, I threw on my sweats and walking shoes ...6tqone door
