Moody's Notebook: February 2010
http://randaljohnson.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 19, 2010. A Letter to the Editor:. Do you read the daily Letters to the Editor in your newspaper? Well, I read one last week that ruffled my feathers a little bit. The writer complained that because the President is on TV so often, he feels like he’s living in a Third World country. It seemed like a strange complaint so I wrote the following Letter to the Editor (Tacoma News Tribune) which they printed a few days later (2/10):. Each and every post proves your point! A monopoly that benef...

Moody's Notebook: My Best Pet Yet
http://randaljohnson.blogspot.com/2015/07/my-best-pet-yet.html
Friday, July 24, 2015. My Best Pet Yet. Note: This was written for a poetry prompt. The prompt was "What pet should I get," written in 20 lines or less. What Pet should I get, or should I get two? Should I get a duet, or will one creature do? And where should I keep it, here under my bed? And if it won’t fit, then my closet instead? Should it be furry, or covered in scales? Something that scurries, or has a long tail? Something that swims, or something that purrs? Should I look in a guide? My Best Pet Yet.

Moody's Notebook: June 2010

Monday, June 28, 2010. The 1968 Torn Shirt Incident. One shredded dress shirt. The prosecution would assert that prior to recess the alleged victim was wearing this “dress shirt” and that it was in a whole and un-tattered condition. Standing there in his undershirt, he handed the torn pieces to the teacher, who with me in tow, delivered them to the principal, who would later deliver them to my mother in a brown paper bag. Make your own shirt kit. My top button was missing. “Objection! The principal’...

Moody's Notebook: September 2010

Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Luckily, I’m More Forgetful than I Used to Be. I can’t tell you how many times (although my wife probably could) that I’ve put something on the stove, or in the oven and forgotten all about it …until a cloud of smoke caused me to suspect that perhaps I was cooking something. Well today would have been number. In that long series of mishaps, but. Luckily evolution in its slow, but ever prudent manner averted what could have been another smoky disaster at my house. And hammer...

Moody's Notebook: November 2010
http://randaljohnson.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 7, 2010. Seem to stir in November. I wonder, do you have. A month that you dread? A time or a season. When angels forsake you. To gather in valleys,. With wings to be shed. When hope turns to sand. Sifting fast through your fingers,. Where memories still play. Where you walked to your future,. And followed your own path,. And left your own footprints. That waves swept away. And I wonder today,. Could you swim in that ocean,. On the blackest of nights. And the wind on my neck.

Friday, March 26, 2010. Friday, March 12, 2010. Driving Lessons with My Father. When I was a kid my father drove a jet black 1965 Pontiac GTO, and I just couldn’t wait to drive it someday, but by the time I turned 15½ and was ready to get my drivers permit my father was driving a pea green 1962 Ford Falcon Station Wagon. "Deep sigh.". 8220;Okay, let’s try again. Ease the clutch. More gas! 8221; The car began to lurch and stop, lurch and stop. "Clutch, gas. more gas! A couple days later, after. Perfecting...

Moody's Notebook: January 2010
http://randaljohnson.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 29, 2010. And a blank mind. Stare each other down. Each waiting for the other to blink. Eventually a thought worth writing,. A clever rhyme, a new idea,. An image will come to mind. A compelling argument,. An inspired story, or maybe not. Maybe tonight the page will win,. And I will say uncle. Maybe tonight, I will crumple up my mind,. And toss it in the wastebasket,. And take my empty head to bed. But tomorrow, I will make the page blink. Sunday, January 17, 2010. Like so many Americans,...
