Yellow Cars
Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – June 17, 2004 – I was driving out Lakeshore Boulevard westbound this morning, minding my own business and not thinking about anything in particular, other than my incredibly busy day. It was only nine thirty and I was already tired. This old broad doesn’t have the energy she used to have.

A Good Kind Of Tired
Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – June 16, 2004 – By the time I got to bed last night it was almost one thirty in the morning. I was so tired that I couldn’t sleep and I tossed and turned until after four. Augie was at my bedside at six thirty wanting bathroom parade followed by bickies. I opened one eye and looked at him – invader of my sleep – heartless little, white devil dog. Ziggy reached over the bed and swatted Augie on the nose. There was no point in trying to ignore these four footed friends – I got up.

A Big Mac
Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – June 15, 2004 – This was one of those days – calories and jiggly thighs, be damned – I needed a Big Mac. I was out the door at eight-thirty this morning, and with the exception of a hectic telephone filled hour at home in the afternoon, I was gone all day.

A Damp, Sunny Morning
Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – June 14, 2004 – It rained last night – an awesome deluge. The kind of storm that makes a believer of you in spite of your atheistic tendencies. Someone’s gotta be in charge of this kind of energy. The lightening lit up the night with eerie, flicker flashes followed by brilliant, zig-zags that shredded the sky.

Silver Jewellery
Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – June 13, 2004 – I am an addict. I need to be in a 12 Step Program. I should attend two or three meetings a week. I don’t need more new jewellery (ever) but I’m loathe to pass by my favourite haunts. I’ve tried, but inevitably I end up back at a familiar store gazing intently at the wares displayed before me.

Panic Today
Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – June 12, 2004 – So how you ask is my panic disorder today? It’s alive and well thank you very much for asking. I seldom have full-blown panic attacks anymore but I’m frequently. The symptoms at time are more acute than at others. I don’t do well in public places.
