Curious²
Because that sounds much more smooth than “curiouser and curiouser”. 😄 Slightly laid up at the moment. “Curious” is a fitting prompt, because it’s been a curious couple days. Well, curious week, actually, but especially the last couple. So, as you can see from the above pic, I am slightly laid up right now. I…

Decisions At Dawn
This morning, I sat outdoors within that sacred pocket of time between the night and the day. There was nothing but silence. No birds chirping. No rabbits hopping about. No lawnmowers. No cars. Just me and the silence. And, for the briefest of moments, it was perfect. This is the time where decisions are made.…

Like A Broken Record
Geez…Not quite THAT broken. 😄😄 Still, the point stands. I hope everyone has been doing well this week. Wanted to check in and say I was thinking of y’all. Kind of ironic that today’s prompt is about health and well being. That’s where the “broken record” part comes into play. I have not been posting…

Alive And (Kinda) Kicking
114 in the shade, as it were. Greetings, fellow word(press)smiths! I hope everyone is doing well and having a good week thus far. I had to unexpectedly drop off the radar because it’s been one hell of a week ’round here. First, we got walloped with another blast of high heat this week. Average temperature…

Vacation? WTH Is That?
It’s Drink O’Clock somewhere… What is this “vacation” thing ye speak of? 😄 For multiple reasons, I have not taken an actual “vacation” in probably 20 or 30 years at least. Truthfully, I can’t even remember the last time I took one. Might have been when I was a kid and went because the family…

4th of July Friday
Happy 4th, y’all! Happy 4th of July to those who are observing it, and a great Friday to all! If you are celebrating this weekend, please stay safe and have an enjoyable time! I tend to not do much on this holiday. Nothing to do with politics or any of that crap, mostly because I…

Every Day Is A New Adventure
High adventure, Matey! Habits? Routine? What’s that? So, I am officially two weeks gone from the old job and working my way into the mix at the new one. It’s been a big period of adjustment for me. New place, new people, new industry, new hours (for the moment, at least). Needless to say, “daily…

G-Man Has Left The Building
See ya!! Saying Goodbye So, as I already alluded to a few days ago, the time at my job was almost up. Therefore, while this is far from my favorite moment ever, it ranks pretty high for today. Yesterday I officially put the wrap on my old job. Apparently, I also made a bit of…

“This many!”
Truthfully, I honestly can’t even recall how many times the “favorite season”, or some variation of this prompt has come up. In the past year, I swear I have seen it at least 10 times. 😄 Anyhow… Amongst all the times I’ve been asked, my answer really has not changed. I would still give the…

Lord High Gorilla Emperor, etc…
I think I have covered this a time or ten before, but I think “Lord High Gorilla Emperor of All Time, Space and Reality” just about nails it. Now with Cybernetic Power Gauntlets! I mean, I’m a simple fellow, after all. I don’t think that’s asking for too much, really. Although, I must admit I…

The Life & Times Of G. Damn Rilla
So, now that I finally have some news and answers, I can say a bit more about what’s been going on with me the past few weeks/months. This might take a minute. Sorry if it rambles a bit. 😄 I have alluded to some health stuff that I’ve been trying to get taken care of,…

Rage & Anger (And Maybe A Quip Or Two Along The Way)
While there is a hint of humor in the title of this post, I would be remiss not to add that there are also more than a couple nuggets of truth within it as well. I don’t necessarily know that I have a specific time or incident that I will point out within this little…

Memorial Day ’25
To you, they were a soldier. To someone else they are: Father. Son. Brother. Mother. Daughter. Sister. Cousin. Friend. Every soldier is a special someone in somebody’s life. When a warrior falls in defense of their homeland and it’s citizens, we sometimes forget that somewhere a mother just lost a son, a wife just lost…

The Art Of (Im)Balance
Greetings all, As I am sure most of you are painfully aware by now, I have been largely absent for the better part of two months because I have had “stuff” going on. Well, I am sure this won’t be a huge shock to anyone, but I still do have “stuff” going on. By this…

Gone Overboard!
The first step is a doozy Okay, so I didn’t fall overboard. Not quite, anyhow. 😄 I just wanted to take a brief moment to say that neither Laura or I have fallen off the face of the earth again. I am sure most of you saw her post and know she’s adapting to a…

Been A Minute Or Two (Point Oh?)
Strange… I have this sense of deja vu. 😄 Feels like we’ve done this before… Where to start, where to start… Well, I guess we can start with how the hell y’all doin’? 😄 I hope everyone has been well while I’ve been coasting along under the radar. I have been checking in from time…

Been A Minute Or Two
Just wanted to drop in real quick and say I hope everyone’s doing well, and wish you all a Happy Easter if you’re celebrating it. I’ve been focusing on other things lately and have also felt the urge to lay low for a spell. I was looking into another job opportunity which ended up not…

I Don’t Get It
I don’t “understand” the point of this prompt. 😄 Wait…What? Yes, I am being a bit of a smartass here. The question is fairly straightforward, but it’s still a bit of a pointless one. Yeah, I know…Most of the daily prompts are. 😄 I mean, really, most of us don’t understand a lot of things,…

Barbaric Virtue
On flaming fields of battle A mask of grime across my face If we wish to reap the spoils We must take up frenzied pace We must climb o’er broken bodies If we are to reach the goal There can be no room for mercy Only blackened hearts of coal With a blood rage in…

That Time Of Year
I know I have only answered this exact same question a time or ten, but what the hell. I’m in the mood to bitch about the weather a bit anyhow, since it is hampering my ability to bounce back from recent “stuff” that happened to me. 🙄 Personally, I think Fall is the almost perfect…

All Retro, All Day
Because everything needs an intro. 😉 Good day, and Happy Saturday, y’all! I’ve been slightly under the radar after getting exposed to some stuff on the job that kinda messed me up for a spell. I’m feeling better, but recovery has been slowed by the constantly shifting weather. 70 degrees during the day, and then…

Stubborn
I am quite sure that if you asked those who know me they could come up with more than a few creative one-word descriptions of me, but we’ll stick with “stubborn” for now. 😄 I’d blame it on my age, but I have always had a bit of a stubborn streak in me. It’s probably…

They Are All Meaningful
I can’t think of any one that stands out. They’re all nice! I think it’s tough to narrow it down to just one compliment. Personally, I appreciate them all. Whether it be for my writing, my photos, images, a work accomplishment, or about my parenting abilities, and so on. I don’t always take compliments that…

Flicker To A Flame
When I first clicked this pic, I had thought to write a poem as an accompaniment to Inner Mounting Flames. But, as I sat here sipping my coffee and listening to “Road To Nowhere” by Ozzy Osbourne, a switch inside me flipped and I decided I’m just gonna speak my piece. “The wreckage of my…
