By George! Lifestyles of the Rich and Infamous
We continue our saga of the life and times of George the IV with more youthful hijinks of the Oh-My-God variety. When we left off George had inadvertently settled an outlandish amount of money on his first mistress. **** The king’s orders and admonishments were so many snowflakes in July as far as the Prince was concerned. He continued to slip out of the palace and have it off with all manner of loose women and fast friends. […]
Peanut-Butter Candy
This is actually a kid recipe, but I seem to be addicted to the stuff. The idea is to make a kind of edible playdough. Somehow it never gets that far. 1 c. peanut-butter 1 c. powdered milk 1 c. honey Mix until smoothish. At this point you are supposed to put it in the refrigerator for a couple hours, then form it into balls or other shapes, then roll the shapes in powered sugar. Around here we just eat […]

Suzie’s House 37: A Dark and Balmy Night
“Sean! Wait up!” Joseph jogged down the night-darkened street toward his brother. He had muttered some lame excuse to Christina and hurried out of the bar. The urgency to warn his brother, to wring from him some sort of promise overwhelmed him. In a way, the feeling tied in with Christina. Something about her sent up red flags. Sean accused him of being paranoid because he had so many premonitions of doom. Maybe he was, but he was also alive […]

By George! What a Naughty Little Prince Can Do
When we left off, Mr. Al hinted that George’s next “true love” would not be a goody-two shoes like Miss Hamilton. Boy was he right. Take it away, Mr. Al. **** The lucky lady was Mrs. Mary Robinson. She was the beautiful daughter of an American whaling ship captain and an Irish actress. Dad abandoned the family when Mary was quite young to set up a whaling station in Canada and live with the Eskimos.Mom took Mary to London […]

"Can I Write?"
Writing a short story is like running a mile. Writing a novel is like a ten mile hike. Writing a novel others would like to read is like dancing the same ten miles with a genuine smile the entire time.
Hip replacement
Two Patients Two patients limp into two different medical clinics with the same complaint. Both have trouble walking and appear to require a hip replacement.The first patient is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the same day and has time booked for surgery the following week. The second patient sees his family doctor after waiting 3 weeks for an appointment, then waits 8 weeks to see a specialist, then gets an x-ray, which isn’t reviewed for another week and finally […]
Sigh for Suzie
It’s been a bad day. There’s no way I’ll get Suzie up anytime soon. I’m going to shoot for next Friday. Alice
Suzie Sucks!
Seriously, I finished it last night, took a look and just cringed. It has no GMC, no theme, barely moves the story forward and not in a clear direction. It has no point at all. No way I can post something that bad on the blog. I am very sorry, but I’m going to have to make another go at this thing, and I’m thinking it’s going to have to come from the ground up. With any luck I’ll have […]
