It’s a great day at the bar. We have Cheryl behind the bar and we are going to wrestle with Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt as we consider my sanity. Linda’s prompt is: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘nuts.’ Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!” Let’s not... Continue Reading →
It’s My Party & I’ll Wine if I Want To – #SoCS
It’s Friday. Linda G. Hill is back, and she’s given us a new Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. I’m going to take it to the bar and buy David a beer. The prompt Linda gave us is: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘-tast-.’ Find a word that contains ‘tast’ and use... Continue Reading →
OSV Twofer – #1LinerWeds
Sunday was Father’s Day, and our daughter Faith took me to breakfast and then to Old Sturbridge Village. OSV was having a Father’s Day event – Baseball, Beer and BBQ – which seemed interesting. Mainly, it was a chance to spend some time together and see some of the exhibits that aren’t open when we... Continue Reading →
Back from the Road – #1LinerWeds
I have been traveling the past week, returning earlier today (Tuesday). I flew to Minneapolis, and after a couple of days there (some business, some fun), my brother drove us to Iowa. I had a wonderful time, ate delicious food, sampled a variety of beers and, most important, visited with people who are very dear... Continue Reading →
Absurd on a Bar Stool – #1LinerWeds
I was conducting research at the bar on Saturday – yes, that’s my story – and I couldn’t help but overhear a man, I am glad I don’t know and with whom I avoided making eye contact or exchanging polite conversation. He was one of those people who seem to feel they were put on... Continue Reading →
Thanks Facebook but I’ll Pass – #SoCS
The weekend is here, the bar is open, and Linda G. Hill is offering bonus points. Her Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt is challenging, but I like bonus points as much as Corona, so let’s move on with: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘abash/a bash/bash.’ Use ‘abash,’ or ‘bash’ as a...

Beer and a Slice – #SoCS
It’s time to visit the bar for Stream of Consciousness Saturday. Linda G. Hill is combining SoCS with Just-Jot-January again, so we get double-credit for dealing with this prompt: “Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: ‘art.’ Talk about something that’s hanging on your wall. Add a picture, if you’d like. If... Continue Reading →
Familiar Faces – #SoCS
It’s the last Stream of Consciousness Saturday of 2018. Linda G. Hill has been caring for her son, Alex, who has been sick. As a result, Linda instructed us to fend for ourselves, but I’m going to take her advice literally (because I think I can make it work): “Your Friday prompt for Stream of... Continue Reading →
Bar Folk, not People – #SoCS
The challenge has been presented, and there are bonus points at stake. Linda G. Hill has set the tone and directed the course of our writing with her Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘ma.’ Use it as a word or find a word with 'ma' in...
