Security
posted about 1 year ago | 2 comments
I was going through security at a government office building the other day. I had to go in the front door, through security, and walk about 25 feet to the receptionist's desk and pick up an envelope and then leave the building. For that, I had to ...
I Won the Lottery
posted about 1 year ago | 3 comments
When the urge fits the moment, I buy a lottery ticket. I don't check to see what the jackpot is, nor would it matter to me. When I win the lottery, will it really matter that it's 100 million or "only" 5 million? Will I rue the day that I won 10 m...
Fall Begins Today

I know, I know
Fall begins in a few weeks,
But I see it this way,
And you might not.
The days are shorter,
The nights longer,
If there's nothing more,
That signals Fall to me.
Take a walk in the woods,
Go to the beach,
Soon you'l be inside,

No, I don't mean anything mysterious, or untoward.
But, I do want to save your @.
Do you know that "@" means "at" or "at the rate of," and it does not mean "hey you" or "attention." For some reason, t...

Eons is a funny place
posted about 1 year ago | 3 comments
I'm not really complaining, but then again maybe I am! I love eons, it's a wonderful place to chat with "friends" and to pass the time. I spend as much time here as anybody, probably more than most. Eons has become my "go to" place on the internet...
Trails in the Woods

Have you ever been walking in the woods when you come across a trail, one that spurs off the main trail, and you wonder, "w... I Died Last Night, or Maybe Not

So the night is strong,
Sometimes very much so.
The night is dark and long,
Sometimes very much so.
I dreamed I had died,
Woke up just in time.
I sat up and begged for comfort,
Laying forward into open arms.
I laid my head upon the shoulder,

I want to write a story,
Do you ever feel that way?
I want to make it lovely,
Like a cool summer day.
I want to write a story,
Do I even have to explain?
I wish to have it merry,
Like a man who is sane.
Can I take time t...

The Whole
by OldMike
I can't look left
Without knowing there's a right.
I can't go up
Without first being down.
I can't be wrong
If I've never been right.
I can't see dark
Unless I've experi...
All the Things Around Me

As I look around,
All I see is what is meant to be.
I can see the cardinal scratching on my car,
It jumps from side to side, flees, returns.
I can see the sun as it rises in the east,
It shines through the...
