No One Wants a Top Fuel Writer

No One Wants a Top Fuel Writer The Christmas Tree lights take forever to change. The scent of nitromethane fills your nostrils as you wait, its fumes coursing through your veins until they reach your heart, causing it beat in time with the 10,000 horsepower engine that powers your aluminum engine. 2,250 pounds of precise engineering surround you like a carbon-fiber composite coffin. The rumble of the machine tickles your nerves, making you anxious. Your eyes stare past the front…

Pacifier Withdrawal Syndrome

Pacifier Withdrawal Syndrome

Comments 0 Comment

Pacifier Withdrawal Syndrome I am pretty sure my grandson is suffering from pacifier withdrawal syndrome. I also believe that there is a need for a support group—not for the little ones, but for the parents and grandparents. His pacifier has always been the one constant in his life, and now that it is time to give it up, he hasn’t found a new constant. He is more irritable than he has ever been and doesn’t seem to know how to…

Hairstyles I know when my wife is considering getting her hair cut when she begins showing me pictures of hairstyles. Our usual routine is for her to bring up the pictures on her phone, I will offer my suggestions and opinions, then she makes her decision.

Since the long version can—and has—filled books, I’ll give you the short version. We will start with a brief description of…

  Couches Have you ever wondered where couches come from? According to my 3 year-old niece, they come from cows. The beginning of the word couch sounds like cow (at least in English,) so, to her, it is logical. Her logic, however, does not stop there. If couches come from cows, then a couch is made by stuffing two cows, sewing them together, and using food coloring to change the colors. I just love my nieces and nephews and my…

 I’ve Got Lots of Ideas…And That Is the Trouble

  I’ve Got Lots of Ideas…And That Is the Trouble I’ve got lots of ideas about novels I would like to write, and that is the trouble I am currently facing. Making decisions is not my strong suit—which is why I tell my wife I married her, so I wouldn’t have to make them anymore—but there are certain decisions a writer cannot avoid. Only the writer can decide what kind of story he or she wants to write. It is…
