Comida
"Oh, my God, this is so good!" Brenda can't get over what's in front of her- a plate of homemade arroz con pollo . "This is as good as my aunt used to make," I say quietly, eyeing the plate just put in front of me, of the same thing. I also have a......Read More

A New Age Now Begins...
...or, Novus Ordo Seclorum . You'll find it on our Legal Tender. I'm not going to engage in any pomposity here, about the historic context of last Tuesday night. It's all been done already. I never dreamed that I'd live to see the day when an American of......Read More

Postmortems
"I don't know," Brenda says. "This looks like a good a place as any." I look up, and see a diner on the right. Betty's Diner. We're on Route 22, in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley, on this early Sunday morning. We're not far from......Read More

Smiles
I'm very tired. And, kinda sad. As it turns out, Friday night was Dawn Rice's last night working here at the Palmetto. Along with her regular job, she now has the numbers of Debbie's medical billing business to help with, and that pays more than the diner,......Read More

Trouble
Cookie's standing in front of me, with a young girl in a waitress' uniform. She's about five seven, long, dark brown hair, and deep brown eyes. Nose stud. "George, this is Tara, the new girl." "Hi, Tara!" "Hi!" ......Read More

The Swallows of Capistrano
"Hey, Trouble. Whatcha havin'?" Tara's got big, brown eyes. They're outgoing, gregarious, and reveal a sweetness about the girl. Her pony tail bounces back and forth as she walks up and down the counter; it's quite a lovely thing. One......Read More

Requiem for Detroit
Everyone seems to think that the problems that beset Detroit's automakers started two weeks ago, or so. This fits in with this particular malady which affects our sick society, in which the vast majority of us have the attention span of a gnat. No, Virginia, there really......Read More

Variety
In the diner this extremely early Sunday morning- this bitter cold for November Sunday morning, it's me, Rochelle Peyton, and the Purple Lady, down the other end. She's in her usual, sartorial splendor, of course...bright purple overcoat, and a purple and white striped......Read More

Pass the stuffing, please...
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone at thoughts.com. Blessed are those who actually prefer jellied cranberry sauce from a can. _____________________________________________ I feel blessed myself. Despite the fact that we're so tight with funds, despite the stress of......Read More
