Combined with a hint of the smarter of the dumb brothers on that Newhart show the same actor played.

I’ve had a few in there over the years but nothing recent. I always ponder their themes though….

Just got my copy and read your little one. Very good!

Looking forward to reading this. I spent most of the summer of 1990 working on a safety program for a petrochemical plant in Baytown. Was surprised at the amount of woods in parts of Houston and wonder what remains,

I started at Bard in '74, the year before he got there. From the beginning the catchphrase "Leon Is a Wanker" had prominence, including graffito on numerous flat surfaces. Has always had staying power, and seems timely.

Daddy Larry Bear Has Left the Building – My Mom put my stepfather, who I’ve always called Daddy Larry Bear, into one of those new Bot Med facilities. It took a while to find one that doesn’t get shut down all the time because some…

Reading this now, very good, “No Wrong Way to Grieve” my favorite so far. Cheers!

Good one, Frank.

Similar vibe with the father daughter thing, but Mr. Inbetween would get that smile/snarl and the ruckus would begin. He would have broken Mr. Lowdown in half.

Nah…just like to see the envelope get a nudge every now and then.

Hope there’s at least one scene alluding to the effervescence of B.O.

Or donate to local library book sale.

“Caught in a blink” that lasts thirty seconds or more each time. Whatever happened to the old “just resting my eyes” bullshit every old man used to use?

War at Home A record of ICE’s assault on immigrants and the people’s resistance.

Federal immigration agents in camo chase landscapers, students, and day laborers through U.S. cities in a deportation campaign, treating neighborhoods like war zones.

Ashley Gilbertson for @hammerandhope.bsky.social documents the courage of communities who resist.

A swarm of drones coming from where? A Venezuelan tanker off the coast of Cape Cod?

Superstar level.

Wisdom Out My dad, with the medically confirmed shrunken brain, calls about a “tooth distraction.” He no longer drives, and my mother stopped in ‘92, so getting him to the appointment falls to me. On the way, he...

My micro fiction "Wisdom Out," is up on the new(ish) site Hawkeye. A 250-worder featuring humor, heartache and family dynamics. Check it out: hawkeyemag.com/stories/wisd...

Riveting presence, and not only when acting in a scene with a duck. Sorry to hear this.

Many thanks to Cindy Rosmus for taking on my flash piece "White Goods" in Yellow Mama #113:
