July 2, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 13 Comments

Along a stretch of six-lane road that cuts through an eerily homogeneous commercial area, a marquee flashing on the side of a small building catches the attention of those not speeding, those not searching out the closest Walmart or Target, those who slow at the intersection.

Is it PROM yet?

April 2, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 12 Comments

Oh, for the eccentricities and entertainment of just the right request to go to Prom! (Yes, it really is that time of year. Again.) Last year, I seem to recall my younger son being encouraged (make that coerced) into repeated prom-asking-behaviors that personally, I found to be a bit much. There was a considerable Butterfly […]

A few nights ago, the audio on my laptop stopped working. Bit the dust. Dead. Nada. D-A-M-N-A-T-I-O-N. I wanted to play my favorite DVD! Yes, a chick flick. I tried control […]
