Tuesday, November 27, 2012. Checkin’ It Twice by Michael Young. Excerpt from Checkin’ It Twice. He looked down and thought how his stomach was more like a half-deflated balloon than a bowl full of jelly, and his nose more black cherry than maraschino. There was the regular Naughty List, which was bad enough. Then there was the Chronically Naughty List, where only the naughtiest appeared. Those on the second list risked being. He stuffed his large girth into the tinsel-draped chair behind his desk, and pi...

Monday, November 26, 2012. Slushballs by Janice Sperry. It wasn’t just a snowball. It was a dirty slushball. And it hit me on the ear. Slush oozed under my fuzzy pink scarf and down my shirt. I screamed and yanked the slushy scarf off my neck. I glared at him while I used the dry end of the scarf to clean the icky slush off the side of my face and neck. “I hate you, Jimmy Torbell. You’re such a jerk.”. 8221; he replied. 8220;You run like a girl,” he yelled. I rolled my eyes. “I know. I know...8220;By a y...

Sunday, November 25, 2012. Fishing Buddy by Rob Smales. Excerpt from Fishing Buddy. Bill pulled his sled through the darkness, his cleats clicking and crunching on the ice as he made his way across the frozen lake. Above, high cloud cover blocked out the starry sky. Up ahead, a small fire was a bright spot in the night, its light an unexpected beacon to Bill’s destination. Well, thought Bill, I guess I’ll have some company out here. And maybe I won’t even have to make my own fire! 8220;Not at all! ItR...

Thursday, June 3, 2010. Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way. 6:17 pm - I am finally heading home. I have been at the office since 6:30 this morning and I am exhausted. I try to focus my attention on my driving, try to push the last bits of the crafted chaos of spreadsheets and calculations from the day's work out of my head. My drive is quiet but short. Dad can you pull my loose tooth out? Dad can you come look at my puzzle? I am a wanted man. 8:02 pm The ballet of putting kids to bed begins. As usual, it...
