He grabbed her. They were at the Mcdonald’s playground. She came up to the table. “I have something important to tell you.” “Wait a second until we are done talking.” Miranda continued her animated story.

I saw my Ex-Husband
I saw him yesterday. It has been six months. Fernando, the ex. I was speaking to a good friend about what the experience of seeing him might be like. She offered maybe I would think to myself, “I am so glad this didn’t work out.” That wasn’t exactly what happened. I could feel him walking…
Dating, I think no.
“It’s been long enough, isn’t it time? How long is enough time? You will miss him when he comes. You can’t put time lines on things like this.” “Oh I can and I must.” “And God your list, who can live up to that?” “I won’t settle again. I can bend my list but most…

Eleven Hours
I have friends who are real travelers. They look at everything. They savor it. They take it in. They meet the people and eat the food. Not me. At least not this round. I’m on a mission. That mission is to drive! I stopped at the International House of Prayer in Missouri. I like to…
Mr. Weakshake
He was standing behind me in line. He was attractive. We were waiting to get into a store. A busy store. I had my shades on with a scarf that covered my face. Its my way of saying, “Don’t talk to me!” without the use of headphones. A man walked up to speak to the…
#L.A. Dream Living
Sam: I wonder how long we can go without a fridge. Me: It depends on how the other two roommates are. What are those things called, they are square you can hold food in them? Sam: (laughs) A cooler? Me: YEAH! One of those we could get a cooler. Sam: #L.A. Dream Living! Me: I’d…
