Scribbles #40
Last time Hanging the pants upside down, I place the outer seam at the leg cuff in line with the inner seam. Doing likewise with the second pant leg, I align the inner seams of both legs. This creates clean creases down the front and back of both pant legs. Placing the pants on......Read More

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Usually things do not turn out the way you envision them. If you read me, you know my family and I have returned home from a three year, Army tour of duty, in Germany.

Home Sweet Home
It does not seem as slow as it felt at the time. Years have flown by in a blur-- yet, in my mind time seemed to resist passing. Now that it is over my throbbing feet give witness to the miles this body has endured--to the miles that this family has endured. All the signs are there. Signs......Read More

Scribbles #38 Explicit Content
Pleasant Memories I broke my foot. How? Walking too far, for too long, with too much weight on my back. We started out at 8PM at night and walked until 3PM the next day. Yes 19 ho urs. I carried an Infantry Soldier’s full complement of gear plus a PRC-77 radio and extra......Read More

Changed
Stumbling he falls. The crustacean laden surface of the rocky shore digs deeply into the soft skin of knee and palm. Tears stream in reverie as Charon works his way down the coast of the forgotten shore. His cowl rests listlessly over his sodden, sweat soaked crop of hair. Stopping, he eases......Read More

Size Does Not Matter! Explicit Content
   She was a little thing, a Private I think! I do not remember her name, I barely remember her face. It is funny how memories lose their grasp on my mind. My wife says I started to lose my memory when I return ed home from Desert Storm. This tale is a bit after that, but I digress.......Read More

The Last March of the XXXXX Ants Explicit Content
Walking through the guarded gate and onto my children’s school grounds, the impact of the 80mm and 120mm mo rtars crashing to earth caused me to pause. When you couple this with the repetitive thrumming of the 50 caliber machine gun and the acoustics on the hill top, you feel as if......Read More
