Excuse me, Waitress! There’s a nipple in my soup!

The sun came up in the morning and alerted the morning larks that they should begin their daybreak song. I pushed my satin covers back, stretching my arms out and greeting the new day. After dressing myself for work, I had a cup of steeped tea and a small cup of yogurt, filling [...]


The Abominable Snow Woman

Little girls everywhere dream of their wedding day. Women are programmed by television, movies, magazines and family to wish for their big day. From a young age, little girls begin to imagine their beautiful white dress, the bridesmaids all standing behind them, the guests and the gifts and the man of their [...]


Squirrel Tails and Tales

I went for a walk in the early morning light, stretching my legs out before me, and trying to outrun my thoughts that were racing. I turned a corner and saw a squirrel sitting under a tree about 50 yards away. Though he did not notice me immediately, the moment I came into [...]

Hunting Season is Officially Open

During the Earth’s 365 1/4 day celestial spin around the sun, the Earth undergoes a variance in weather due to the relative position of the Earth’s axis to the sun. This circumstance is responsible for the annual changes in the height of the sun above the horizon that results in the seasons: winter, spring, [...]


Chaos is Inherent in the System

Most relationships can be expressed in simple mathematics. 1+1=2 (Or at least in most monogamous relationships.). In heterosexual relationships, that equation is further expressed as 1 woman + 1 man = 2 (a couple). That relationship is formed when two people come together seeking love, comfort, compatibility, companionship and all of the bonuses [...]
