Blue Velvet

I can't believe my little brother is officially a teenager today! Wow, 13!! 
While he's at school I'm getting "Lynchy" and baking a tasty little blue velvet cake that I'll surprise him with tonight! Happy Birthday, Jacob, I hope all those birthday wishes come true.

Stone Cold

Just a spoonful of dirty glamour... makes the medicine go down. It was cold, damn cold… practically subzero. And while we remained officers of style to such an abominable climate, it was a long night of semi-traffic disobedience, parking lot larking, and wicked misbehavior, as we rallied about for ice cream and liquid courage. Not to mention the severe photo contingency that kept us blind-sided from the florescent storm of an external flash. (!!) At midnight, she mentioned the boys in the band… and then purposefully neglected any amount of etiquette.

Because in the darkness of quiet spaces, when the world was seduced by a requiem of sleep, I heard the myriad of stories that taught me of my Great Grandmother’s upbringing. As a child, I learned of her survival and the devastating circumstances that transpired during the forced relocation to Indian reservations west of the Mississippi River. And even in the fades of memory, the truth can resurface… and some stories live to linger. So as one of my latest writing projects unfurls its raw edges, what I’ve rediscovered is that sometimes, getting back to your roots is a journey all in itself. p.s.
