Howling at the Moon. Listen to them- the children of the night. What music they make! Friday, January 31, 2014. 8220;Road Trip: Pt. III”. The school is in the mountains up a winding highway. I got a ride at some point to within a few miles of it and started walking. Not many vehicles passed. I’d had pretty good luck up to that point, and it was probably mid-morning when I caught sight of the school buildings. At the time I think only a couple had been published. I hiked on up the road. The sideboards wer...

As for me, I knew I needed to find a way to make a living. I had learned that lesson well from my parents. I had always tried to make myself independent. I had my grandmothers and my mother teach me to cook when I was very young. I was making my own pancakes from scratch by the time I was six. He said he’d he...

Not far away, the median between the east and west bound lanes provided a sparse grove of Russian olive trees, ubiquitous to the Interstate system for some reason, that would shield me somewhat from the passing cars. Strapped to my pack were a small tent and a sleeping bag. I had the means to build a fire, but this wasn’t a good place for that. At that moment, I was with...

Howling at the Moon. Listen to them- the children of the night. What music they make! Sunday, September 11, 2011. I’ve struggled the last few months just motivating myself to write. I thought when school was out last spring that I’d make time to do lots of writing over the summer. Guess I enjoyed my summer too much. Today, on this 10. Anniversary, on Patriots' Day, I have to do something. Lines storm across the page. That grows too heavy to hold. Stealing away from trembling hands. Mapped out every stream.

Worse yet, you can’t share them, not those you’ve had or the ones anticipated. You struggle to get the words to come out. They’re in your mind, but your mouth won’t or can’t say them. Every day it’s harder to understand, and finally it doesn’t matter. And it really doesn’t matter. But it really doesn’t matter. Artist of the Year.

One of the rides I had before my cathartic night in the rain in Tennessee was short. A harmless enough looking older fellow stopped for me somewhere in the north Georgia foothills after my pleasant ride in the back of the truck with the kids both human and bovine. 8220;You’re kinda good lookin’ young feller, ain’t ya.”. 8220;You know, my place ain’t too far from here. About t...

Howling at the Moon. Listen to them- the children of the night. What music they make! Wednesday, April 25, 2012. For the last couple of weeks I’ve had students dropping by my classroom or meeting me in the hallways and handing me cards or envelopes—invitations to their Senior Open House parties. I usually collect twenty or thirty of them before graduation. Little does she know that I have almost a whole filing cabinet drawer full of similar detritus. Since next month marks the end of my 40. Even though I...
