"Back in the day, they wouldn't allow the book shelvers to help patrons.

I was shelving books in the kids area and a little boy asked me where the Berenstain Bear books were.  So I took him over the librarian and told her what he needed." 

"A few minutes later, I get a tug on my sleeve and the little guy says 'Come on,' I didn't know what else he wanted.  He said, 'I'm going to show you where the Berenstain Bear books are.'"

Friday

A pocket full of rocks.

Cheeks for days.

Boat that sails &

mountains that for real

 turn purple.

Papa in the background 

cleaning out the shitter.

This picture 

is my happy place.

Cheers, Friday!

Over the hump

I love

that there

are still humans

out there 

who care enough 

to make

awesomeness.

Gotta love the mama that loves the Manning

15 years ago, this would have super embarrassed me. Now, I only feel pride. And relief I don't need my mom to drive me everywhere.

Oh good lord, I originally wrote "10 years ago" but then had to do the math & realize that would have made me 19. Whoa. Oooooold bones.

It is Robbie's

Birthday today!

She is always good

for making us:

laugh 

kettle corn

exercise

lose badly at our favorite games

vodka tonics

cry hard during Titanic.

Keurig konfessions

Dear Mother Gaia - I used 3 k-cups this week (2 coffee, 1 tea).  I am filled with regret and will do my best to bring my own loose coffee and tea in the future.  

Bullshit but True

My homies

A time when

my biggest concern

about moving from

NC to CO

was if they'd have

The Simpsons

out west.

Good news, world! I discovered we have a backup Matt Damon. And in this version, he's fancy:

Just in case, like me, you forgot why you had yesterday off

Do your self a favor,

listen to him here:

Friday

T.G.I.M.F.N.F,

eh?

Go on now

and hug somebody.

I'm pretty sure

we all could 

use it.

Delicious Pocket Full of Death

I stuffed my pocket with salt and pepper pistachios from the library break room.  Then I was banished from Corbin's floor hockey game because my pocket had become life threatening to his sensitive soul.

You can't unsee

the "would be" back leg of the kicking donkey that looks oh so much more like a wiener.

Whoever drew this played a terrible prank on many an old lady embroidering towels for her family.

Friday

I hope this weekend

you find the thick ice

& dig a hole

right into the mystic

of the world 

below, 

& you sit with friends

& a beer with a lime

& dangle a thin string

hoping to catch a fish

(who will be too 

shimmery & slick & squirmy

for you to get 

any secrets out of).

And that you pack up

before the sun 

goes far below

the mountains

because shit gets cold

real fast.

Humpster

Dial-up connection.

One song took 2+ hours to download.

Then you play it & find out 

instead of John Lennon singing

"Let it Be," 

you are listening to a creeper

talking like Vader & reading

what you might generously 

call a manifesto.

That was our truth, 

uphills both ways 

as it were.

Lil'Bobby

Sometimes when you love 

somebody, you make them a tiny

replica of the dog they love most

(& thus the reason they call ALL

dogs "Bobby") in this world.

That's what you do.
