Proceed
I live in a typical old coal town. Back during the coal boom little towns like mine popped up all over the state. They all look pretty much the same. Railroad tracks beside a two lane road with rows of buildings on each side. My town is only slightly different. We only have one row of the side......Read More

Joey
Joey called me today. I miss him so much we talked for close to an hour. For some reason he spent Monday and Tuesday at his mom's house. He wouldn't tell me why and I didn't press the issue. He seemed slightly stressed. He keeps hinting that he want to come and......Read More

DIVORCE
Forgive me but I must rant for a moment. Work was going great. I spent 2 hours out in the field in the mud- and then came back to the office. I got to work with the people I really liked- and slid past the ones I can’t stand. Joey called me around 11. I answered like I always do when he......Read More

PROMISES

I know I should have waited until he was legally divorced- it just looked like such a sure thing. When we first started out......Read More

What's on Your Mind?
Have you ever noticed that people talk about what’s on their mind? I know that’s a bit on the nose, but hear me out. There is a girl at Maria’s office that has lost a good deal of weight. She talks about herself constantly. She can quote the number of calories in every food......Read More

Hollow Heart
It was a very difficult week. I have a larger work load than I can handle and my job has consumed my life. It didn’t seem to matter how hard I tried I wasn’t able to be everything for everyone. By the time the week spiraled to a close it took two unexpected turns. On Thursday I......Read More

Today was a Bad Day
I am starting to wonder if the rising gas prices are making people evil. Gas is 3.64 a gallon for regular here. There were rumors that it would get up to 3.99 by this evening. Every gas station in the tri-county area is bombarded with customers trying to get gas at that cheap price of $3.64. I......Read More
