I’ve been going through my old notebooks and journals. I’ve tossed a lot of crudacious poetry and have been typing up all the other stuff. Most of the prose and poetry are finished. The short stories and one or two plays will be next. I’ve decided to only type up those short stories that are finished.

I’ve come across some interesting, old mementos. Some souvenirs my dad had put aside for my brothers and a collection of slides he took during his time in the Navy. I found a piece of artwork I entered in a contest and won second place. It was the first contest I had ever entered. I found a tape cassette of my writing club when we turned two original stories into radio show episodes. One of the stories we did was mine and it won second place. The prize was cool; a trip to St. Louis to see the grand premier of the second Star Wars movie. Our small writing club went, and would have gone to see that movie, but when we arrived, we discovered it was a fancy, black-tie affair. Instead, we went to another movie that shocked us all terribly…. a new kind of horror film…. Friday the 13th.

And on that note….. I bid ya’ll goodnight.
