THE WRITER’S COVEN©


Greeting Hairballers,

It’s been quite a week.  Must be me.  I’ve been besieged by the “it’s all about me,” people.  To shake it off, decided to spend time with my fellow scribes over dinners and on the phone.  What a special bunch of folks for whom I’m grateful.  I feel renewed.  Thank you.

THE WRITER’S COVEN©

         FMHorner

Here we are
sitting ‘round a table

in a shot and a beer kinda place
that reminds us of New York

way lower West Side or the
East Village before Giuliani cleaned it up

a joint that stays open late
and doesn’t toss us out at 9

eating bad food and talking,
incessantly talking

of all our plans,
our hopes, our dreams

by fits and starts
we found each other

all seekers on the path
feeling very much alone

lost, in this
somewhat tropical place

like-minded souls, who
speak the same language

we form a circle
closing out the world

secure within our sphere
we shelter from the storm

Peace,
F

OMG OF THE WEEK

It's raining Hairballs this week--happens at the first of the month.


The Ruby Red State of South Carolina has chosen, in a run-off election, former governor, Mark Sanford, as the republican candidate to run for Senate.  How bad was the other guy?

Will the Senate be in Argentina?  Will Argentina move to the Appalachian Trail?  Or, will intelligence prevail and elect Elizabeth Colbert Bush, the Democratic candidate?  Only time will tell.

This is an OMG but qualifies as an IFC.  Thanks South Carolina, you’re better than Comedy Central.

Hairballs,

DUMB BASTARD AWARD FOR MARCH

Greetings--


This is a shared award going to the Florida State Legislature for pushing a law banning Sharia Law—something we have never had, don’t have now and will not have in the future.  Perhaps they will go after the tooth fairy next—we don’t have one of those either.

The award is also shared by the people who voted for these jerks.

The closest we come to Sharia Law is the right wing religious groups trying to impose their ideas on others and proposing punishment and shame to those who don’t get it line.  Like condemning the victim in a rape! Or, the witch burnings. 


Semantics folks, semantics. 

These people are afraid of their shadows.

Read all about it in the Tampa Bay Times at the link below.


I know this should probably have been an OMG because the Dumb Bastard is generally funny.  There are exceptions to everything.

Holy Hairballs it's religion again,

Annual Florida Snowbird Notice

Greetings Hairballs,


Sorry, running a day late this week.

Annual Florida Snowbird Notice

Snowbirds:

Easter has come and gone.  Spring training is over.  It’s time for you to go back north.

If you start tomorrow, at the rate of 25-30 mph as usual, you will be home in time to see the leaves change.

That gives you two weeks to visit friends and check your pipes before heading south to be here in time for Spring Training 2014.

Happy trails,
F

PS – Dumb Bastard Award will post on Tuesday.
