My Idea Files

Some people ask me if I have more ideas for books. Here are some of my story idea files. When I squeezed them together, they measured 3 inches thick. 

I have at least one other folder that I didn't feel like running downstairs to get. It appears that i need to either write faster or live longer.
What would you choose? More life, or faster work?

Creative Swimming Attire


What would you wear to the pool? A swimsuit, most likely. Or you could wear shorts and a t-shirt, provided the shorts were hemmed. (The signs always say that... must be a filter thing.)
Okay, so you've got your swimming cloths on, but what about your feet? What're you gonna wear there?
Flip flops?
Sandals?
Sneakers?
Water shoes?
How about BOOTS?

Hey, if it gets you to the pool, that's all that matters, right?

Dog driving a truck

I thought this was funny. Either a dog's driving a van, or a driver looks like a dog. 
It would be even funnier if he had a bone hanging from his rearview mirror!
What's a funny thing you've seen? Come on, share! We all benefit from a good laugh!

Lots of People Say I Resemble my Niece...

Several people have told me that I resemble my niece, (or she resembles me... who came first, anyway?) so when I saw her last Sunday, she was kind enough to pause for a photo op with me.



Well? What do you think?

Big Pots

I was amazed to see a lady in the store with three carts full of giant pots.
I couldn't help but wonder what she wanted so many giant pots for.
Was she decorating a reception center?
Creating a jungle?
Baking giant cupcakes?
Making an obstacle course?
Using them to corral small children at a daycare center?

What if you inherited these shopping carts full of giant pots? What would you do?

Birdie Headstone

When I was at the cemetery, I saw a bird on a headstone. I thought he looked rather picturesque standing there, so I took his picture.

 Then I saw another headstone just a little way off with a topper on it. I had the sudden thought that the bird had decided to be a topper, too, and it was certainly a better topper than the other one made of stone.

I think that I'll order a bird for my headstone. (I want a saxophone, too, by the way. Are you taking notes, sons?)
What do you want on yours?
