Messy Glory: August 2010
http://thetalkingmouse.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, 29 August 2010. I landed in the peace of evening. Punta Arenas! I leaned against a fountain and looked at the girls in the square. Standing there within a couple of feet of their grace, I felt more poignantly than ever the human mystery. In a world in which life so perfectly responds to life, where flowers mingle with flowers in the wind's eye, where the swan is the familiar of all swans, man alone builds his isolation. What a space between men their spiritual natures create! Monday, 9 August 2010.

Messy Glory: What the Bird Said Early In The Year
http://thetalkingmouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/what-bird-said-early-in-year.html
Saturday, 26 March 2011. What the Bird Said Early In The Year. I heard in Addison’s Walk a bird sing clear. This year the summer will come true. This year. This year. Winds will not strip the blossom from the apple trees
. This year nor want of rain destroy the peas. This year time’s nature will no more defeat you.
. Nor all the promised moments in their passing cheat you. This time they will not lead you round and back. 8232;To Autumn, one year older, by the well worn track. Quick, quick, quick, quick!

Messy Glory: October 2010
http://thetalkingmouse.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Friday, 1 October 2010. Good Gollie (and Bink! The medium she chose, of course, is no accident. Just like The Tale of Desperaux. Glories in the fact that it's a book, Bink and Gollie. Glories in the fact that it's a picture book.if that's what you can call it. It feels like an altogether new genre, really - taking the best from the world of picture books (beautiful watercolour illustrations) and the best from the world of comics (dialogue that develops character, dialogue that says "this is true").

Monday, 7 February 2011. Here are just a few samplings of banter from our latest road-trips:. You know, this actually isn't a bad radio station," Mitchell nodded on beat from the back seat. It's Denny's iPod," said Josh. No it's not.". Sure it is.". Great," I said. "You just complimented Denny. I take it back.". Wouldn't it be great if a guy just came out of that house and said 'Hey! Y'all want some fresh biscuits? And made them for us right here from scratch? We all looked at Mitchell quizzically. Hm I ...

Next we have a creation of just yesterday: "Womandatory." The definition of this one is a bit more subjective, so I'll have to give it to you in context and let you figure it out from there:.

Messy Glory: Daddy Buck
http://thetalkingmouse.blogspot.com/2011/01/daddy-buck.html
Wednesday, 5 January 2011. Here is a picture of him fishing. He loved to fish. I'm not a fisher myself, but if you gave me a rod after showing me this picture, I'd be out to the fishing hole in no time at all. Here he is at the pool with my oldest brother (a wee lad at the time). Daddy Buck would always show up when we kids went swimming. Even this last summer, he came out on his porch and didn't nod or shake his head, or even say a word. He just watched us and smiled. 6 January 2011 at 07:02.

Messy Glory: A Story from the Wood Pile
http://thetalkingmouse.blogspot.com/2010/12/story-from-wood-pile.html
Wednesday, 29 December 2010. A Story from the Wood Pile. I'm moving rooms this week and stumbled upon this, fading away in some long-forgotten corner under my bed. I don't know exactly when I wrote it, but here it is anyways. And as a note, by the way, before I turn you over to the story, $29.99 is a steal for a Flu shot - get it now (! And now, without further delay. Of a parking lot), and Slingo (the masked man) would have made it to the other side of the road unharmed and untouched. Come soaring towar...
