Sunday, May 21st, 2006

Grab My Hand
Joe is walking down the street and falls into a hole.  He jumps, he yells, he tries to climb out, all to no avail.
Then a doctor comes along.  He hears Joe’s cries.  He leans over, writes a prescription, tosses it down into the hole and walks on.
A priest comes along, he hears the […]

What a NIGHT!
So tonight was my first book signing (y’know I can’t type signing without misspelling it as singing, is that Freudian?).  No idea what to expect.  It went really well.  Sold quite a few books and had a ball talking to people.
A “funny” thing happened though.  When I first got there, I pulled up […]

poem: searching for receptors

searching for receptors
by john obrien jr

from struggling to stand tall
when arthritis bends with all its might
decades like water
over […]
