Friday is here again, and I am pleased to say we finally have internet. This now means I can no longer write off typos as something associated with Hurricane Harvey. This is sad because of all the things Harvey messed up, the only positive thing to come out was a way to effectively blame […]
“Hey, John.” “Yes, Stella.” “Where you been?” “I was out taking photos.” “With that iPhone?” “Yes with the iPhone.” “Pretty low-tech I would say.” “Want to see one?” “Well, it is a while before lunch so what the heck. Sure.” “What is that?” “Someone put a flag on the beach with a stick as a […]
It is Wednesday Story Day again and last week we left Lucas and Jason McDonnell, Lucas’ lawyer in deep discussion about Lucas’ sister. We should go back since I see the lawyer has additional questions. “So, Lucas you called her a loser?” “Yes. I should have kept my mouth shut.” “Let’s not worry about […]
In Keith’s words. “Using this photo ( below) as inspiration, write a short story, flash fiction, scene, poem; anything, really; even just a caption for the photograph. Either put it (or a link to it) in a comment or email it to me at keith@channing.info before 6pm next Sunday (if you aren’t sure what the time […]

Continuing with my thoughts on maintaining a positive focus regarding Hurricane Harvey, I am featuring three separate groups who have set up relief points in town. All the goods in these relief locations are donations from kind folks outside of Port Aransas. These contributions have made a difference in helping folks through a very tough time. Our […]
Hot damn. It is Stream of Consciousness Saturday time again. This weeks prompt is “hot/cold.” There are bonus points for beginning the post with one and ending the post with the other. Now you see why I lead off with “hot damn.” If you would like to be involved with this craziness, then visit Linda […]
Friday is here already. Time does fly when you are having fun. I still don’t have internet or TV, but I am managing quite well on my AT&T cell phone. The speed isn’t all that red-hot, but I’m able to work it through. I did cancel my Spectrum service since they refused to credit […]
“Hey, John. What are you doing?” “I’m proofing my latest book.” “Let me see.” “Here it is.” “Circumstances of Childhood?” “Yup that’s the name.” “Let me be honest. Doesn’t sound like something I want to read.” “I never would have thought differently, Stella. I wrote it for humans.” “Probably low brow then. Show it to the […]
