The Striped Nickel: "Falsies" has Arrived!
http://thestripednickel.blogspot.com/2013/09/falsies-has-arrived.html
Or, What to Expect When you Get the Unexpected. Sunday, September 15, 2013. Only it has another name. ("Breasts are not a Requirement." I kinda liked "Falsies" better, but I can see that's more of a lit journal title than a glossy mag one.) It's hot off the press in the October issue of. O, the Oprah Magazine. I am so grateful to be in such good company! I'm featured on the Contributors page as well as somewhere in the middle of the magazine (the essay itself). Check it out! September 29, 2013 at 6:07 AM.

The Striped Nickel: Hello, Goodbye
http://thestripednickel.blogspot.com/2013/10/hello-goodbye.html
Or, What to Expect When you Get the Unexpected. Thursday, October 10, 2013. It is such an odd thing. He comes and goes like a dream. This is not the way of most thirteen-year-old boys. The healthy and the happy ones stay, mostly. Sure, they go for short periods of time. Sleep-away camp. Sleep overs with friends. School trips. Visits to Grandmas and Grandpas and aunts and uncles and cousins. But what I have not quite figured out is, which home is his REAL home? The one he flits in and out of like a dream?

The Striped Nickel: All Kinds of Wonderful
http://thestripednickel.blogspot.com/2013/11/all-kinds-of-wonderful.html
Or, What to Expect When you Get the Unexpected. Thursday, November 14, 2013. All Kinds of Wonderful. I'll bet the title of this post surprised you. You are not used to wonderful here at The Striped Nickel, are you? Well, if you've been dropping by for a while, perhaps you are, but perhaps you've forgotten. Or think I have forgotten. Here is some of the wonderful going on around here as we speak:. B Saskia is wonderful. WONDERFUL. Did I mention wonderful? Families - and teach her the things we strongly be...

The Striped Nickel: Making a Comeback, One Inch at a Time
http://thestripednickel.blogspot.com/2014/03/making-comeback-one-inch-at-time.html
Or, What to Expect When you Get the Unexpected. Friday, March 21, 2014. Making a Comeback, One Inch at a Time. So, it's been more than three months since you've heard from The Nickel. Yes, I am still alive. Most days, at least. And still trying to write, in my slow and small ways. I DID have a short story come out a month or so ago on the fantastic online young adult lit journal YARN. Small Change." You'll see why Small Change works better when/if you read the story. What can I say? Not much new at this ...

The Striped Nickel: I Know You're Wondering...
http://thestripednickel.blogspot.com/2013/10/i-know-youre-wondering.html
Or, What to Expect When you Get the Unexpected. Wednesday, October 2, 2013. I Know You're Wondering. Destroyed by that fluffy monster who eats the brains of those who look him in the eye? Comatose from indulging in too many almond flour muffins? I get weepy with gratitude and joy when it strikes me that I now have hope. A treasured clinician said to me once, when I told her I had no hope left, "But. But there is something else: I am tired. It's really that simple. I need rest. Recently, I have had to go ...

The Striped Nickel: Keeshond, My Keeshond
http://thestripednickel.blogspot.com/2013/11/keeshond-my-keeshond.html
Or, What to Expect When you Get the Unexpected. Friday, November 8, 2013. Keeshond, My Keeshond. First, let me say that Keeshonds (or, Keeshonden, if you want to be all correct and Dutch-like - and I do recommend being Dutch-like because the Dutch are generally a handsome and very nice people, and their language sounds a little like English and a little like German and a little like something else, which is both cool and disconcerting) are not easy to live with. She has a little cold.". Germans are appar...

The Striped Nickel: This is The Face of Evil
http://thestripednickel.blogspot.com/2013/09/this-is-face-of-evil.html
Or, What to Expect When you Get the Unexpected. Tuesday, September 17, 2013. This is The Face of Evil. Don't let his goofy pose fool you. He's armed and dangerous. Do NOT look him in the eye or he will eat your brain. Just because he wears spectacles doesn't mean he's an intellectual. I think these pictures speak for themselves: We're all in trouble. You can read about some of this hound's malfeasance in the October issue of. O, The Oprah Magazine. Labels: The Hellacious Hound. View my complete profile.

The Striped Nickel: Oh, By the Way...
http://thestripednickel.blogspot.com/2013/11/oh-by-way.html
Or, What to Expect When you Get the Unexpected. Thursday, November 14, 2013. Oh, By the Way. And a propos of absolutely nothing, I wonder if Emily Bronte had Asperger's? According to the Google search I just conducted, others have wondered the same thing. It's the kind of thing you've gotta consider if you know anything about EB's story. She left behind almost no written record of her short life - no letters, no diaries - beyond. I mean, have you READ. Ugh Shades of Scarlet and Rhett? A brief examination...

The Striped Nickel: We Are ALL Like That!
http://thestripednickel.blogspot.com/2014/04/we-are-all-like-that.html
Or, What to Expect When you Get the Unexpected. Monday, April 28, 2014. We Are ALL Like That! Last Saturday afternoon I had the pleasure of watching the Metropolitan Opera's really fine production of Mozart's. Via MetHD at our local multiplex. This is an opera I have seen live at the Met (but not for many years) and listened to on CD and radio simulcast, and in bits and pieces on YouTube quite a lot over the years. This time it was different. Or I was different. The Marriage of Figaro. But here's what's ...
