This is for Pick three prompt: At the Folkie Palace, the religious arguments between the Monk and Pete could ruin a holiday. Monk had left his monastic order, but considered his calling intact, if somewhat frayed by living with a bunch of reprobates like us. Pete, our former Jesuit, considered himself to have turned his …
I received an early Father's Day present yesterday. One of my sons surprised me with plans to visit a small town in New Hampshire for a concert. It was a great day for a drive through rural New England to the small Town Hall where the concert would be hosted. And it was a wonderful …
A Flashback Friday presentation from May 30, 2021: It's been a long while now since I got where I wasn't going. But it happened all the time when I was younger. My friend Bill and I'd be dropped off from a ride in some small town by whatever driver responded to our stuck-out thumbs. Typically …
I make no bones about the peculiarities of my own life

As a stalwart Pius Itinerant, I sometimes avoided becoming an inmate of the local constabulary's establishment for the correction of wayward hitchhikers, …
It may sound strange to hear that I am beginning my prep for winter, but I am. The last one was terrible. Well, not the whole thing, just January and most of February. Enough, huh? I float along on the remainder of the holiday season for a week into January. Then it hits: cold, dark, …
From the WTF am I on about site here is my offering: Lefkowitz moved from something similar to a Bach fugue to an interlude that morphed into a 12 bar blues. Mitch provided some impromptu lyrics, and Sue did some neat things with her soprano voice. I had a bad cold and sore throat, so …
Have you got a guardian angel? You know someone who has your back? Or does your's just trill out, "You're sinning, sinning, sinning!" On the rare occasion that you do "right," it plays Celestial Chords and hums? For the record, I've never had that type. And if I did, I'd have kicked it in the …
