Time to Bring Him In Last time she saw Carson, she found him sitting in a booth at the beach bar —writing something in a beat-up notebook, and she was making some progress with her previously irresistible bouncy-walk combined with a deadly eyelash interrogation technique.  But it didn’t work, for the first time in her adult life. The tricky doctor got away by slipping out the window of the bathroom Read More

She hears the thunder in the distance, looks out the window to the north, and the sky has darkened, with distant flashes of lightning.  It’s not raining yet, but she walks out onto her protected deck—hair blowing from gentle wisps of wind teasing her long hair as if to provide a harbinger of things to come. Her eyes are scanning the panorama that displays an ominous and powerful force of nature co Read More

Fly High Now by Adrienne B.      If there is such a thing as a prelife planning session in a supreme heavenly place where each spiritual soul must map the purpose and events of their human life, then I must have been there against my will.  If I did find myself sitting around a crystal golden conference table amongst the advisory angels, I probably was not an active participant.  Read More

Just so that I don’t grow old like Ollie before the answers and the winner is announced, I will give my readers another day (6/3/25) evening, 8:01 pm, before I post the correct answers and declare the winner and go on to other things that may be more exciting, like listening to the word “Perfect” being uttered by Read More

I believe I went overboard on the Ollie quiz for my readers. After looking at it, I realized it was intimidating and required intense reading and study. My fault. I have now made it more reasonable to attempt. Seems like I was acting like a high school English teacher who didn’t know how to have fun. Try it now. SRCarson Read More

Ollie Knowledge Challenge Some of my other challenges were not too difficult and required lucky guesses basically. But this one is a ten-question test of my reader’s knowledge of the famous Ollie.  Don’t worry, they are not trick questions, and the answers are readily available if you don’t know them right off hand. There will be prizes for the winners. Who are the winners? Anyone who g Read More

This year, he was back at Arlington, participating in the Flag In event, where just like every Memorial Day, The 3rd Infantry Regiment — the Old Guard, allowed the old man with a cane to plant flags at the grave sites of soldiers. He avoided the crowd at the Amphitheatre services, because well, he didn’t need the attention, even here.  He was relieved that he didn’t see the Free Palestinian prot Read More

I couldn’t help it. I had to post this beauty one more time. It brings back fond memories, for sure, and it will massage your soul, and let it soar with high majesty and comfort. Go ahead. Take a deep breath, and it will sprout you strong wings, if you dare to allow it, and you will fly with the freedom of an eagle, soaring with strength and power, and sometimes, you drop like a rock, but then, it Read More
