Fall Deception


Freaking squirrels all over town.  Trying to fool us with their cute gathering and adorable scurrying.  I’m telling you, I’m not buying it, the little bastards are up to something.

Book Learning



Tonight, as I crossed the parking lot at the gym, I noticed a somewhat frail looking young boy walking down the sidewalk. He was wearing glasses and carrying several books under one arm. Two somewhat older and bigger boys closely followed him. It was obvious that the older boys were picking on the younger kid, who kept looking forward with his head down as he walked silently. One of the older boys then flicked the younger kid's ear. In a flash, the young bespectacled boy spun around with a hard copy book in his free hand and clocked the bully in the face, stopping him in his tracks. No words were spoken, but the now bruised bully and his jerky friend walked away as the kid with glasses collected his stuff and continued on. Cheers to you, little bad-ass book-wielding dude. Don’t take any shit from anyone.
