MeRrY ChRiStMAs!!!

“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,
stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.” 

 Merry Christmas

stream of conciousness

i attended the first of hopefully many sessions with a new writing group
and
i
was
so
excited....
even though i had a pounding headache
and
a 45 minute drive both ways

it was still amazing.

you know that feeling when you feel "got" by other people.

i had that feeling.

one of the exercises was stream of consciousness using a single word
given to you by the person on your right...
with a one minute time limit.

mine was steady.

"Do you want to go steady?" she said.
I turned towards her with surprise on my face.
"Steady?" I said.  "Steady as in date exclusively,
as in you will be my one and only,
my shot in the dark, my penguin?  Steady?
Do penguins go steady do you think?  I wish
I knew more about the mating habits of penguins..."
I looked at her.
She looked away.
"Never mind", she said.
