Watching the Sun Rise
Ah, the peace and quiet of the Palmetto Diner, at 4 AM on a Sunday morning. It's only me on this end. There are two truckers down on the other end, shooting the breeze with each other. There's Louise, snoring on her perch next to the cash register. There's......Read More

I'm here in my living room. The power's out. Candles are lit. My wife, Carolyn, sits in her recliner, crocheting. I'm on the couch, with my arms folded. Cousin Dearest sits on the other end, yacking away, as she usually does. ......Read More

A case of the Willies...and the eye of the Tiger
Hmm...McClown was AGAINST Bush's tax cuts. Now he's for them. McClown was AGAINST off shore drilling. Now he's for it. What does this sound like to you? And, isn't it unconscionable that no one has called him to task yet for......Read More

Love
"Hey, baby." Rochelle Peyton makes her way down the counter. In the diner right now, it's only me, the elderly woman who always wears a purple velvet hat no matter what time of the year it is, and two State Troopers, neither one of them related to Dawn Rice. ......Read More
