Epilogue (I couldn't leave this one hanging...) They walked, both lost in thought, to the greasy spoon diner adjacent to the motel- he needed coffee and she was willing to risk oatmeal. The bombshell actually was something of a quiet affair- yes, they were teenagers... physically... but both were ol...

Mmmmmmm, raaacehorrrse. (yum),
or is it "nom, nom, nom"?

Where does the line start...?

Something just occurred to me, as I was going to bed: Will Shelly now get to meet her grandfather? I only found out that her Father's name is Brian a few days ago- the name or status of Grampa is unknown at this time... of course, Neil is her... "Step grandfather" ... pending... Can't you...

The time- Four months after Neil's accident. The place- Bonneville Salt Flats, Tooele County, Utah. Neil was sitting in the shade of the awning of an Airstream trailer, sipping a Dr. Pepper. His face smooth, his hair a light sandy blond with an 'S' wave flip in the front, his frame rather lank and r...

Three weeks later, at the Library... The new works showed up in the usual fashion- Phix went to browse through them to see what new thoughts were populating the world. There was a discourse on dragons from China... most of the information was wrong... the Greeks were playing with numbers again.... n...

Hmmm...Pasties..A Star (as long as it is not red) Or round showing the Planet Earth from space . Or her school crest. Any other contributions welcome Well, if they're at Tina's shop, then perhaps pastries instead. They might go nicely with the coffee, after all. Let's not even get started on her st...

Going through the one set of notes that the Philistines used in creating giants, Herodotus saw that an 18 year old given one fifth of a log of juice would re-cut all his molars and (usually) one set of canines- on the average- as he entered his second growth. When he first made this discovery, he kn...

Wear a camo bra... then walk in the woods... hmmm... no that doesn't work either... damn, I thought I had something there....

The first bud showed itself in seven days- by the second month, there was enough of a stalk to see the bark and the beginnings of the first leaf. Winter did not slow progress at all, except to make the getting of water more demanding. In the meanwhile, Herodotus was starting to feel his age- foragin...

Applause applause applause!

Between google, wiki and the Bible itself, the story is already there... for the most part... thank you.

Let us not forget unrealistic Male Role Models either! https://blog.asmallorange.com/wp-content/uploads/He-Man_01.jpg But let us also not forget that He-Man is as much a male fantasy as much as any half-naked female with emphasized secondary sexual attributes is. The referenced female archetype is ...

It took Herodotus two years to find the old Philistine encampment... what he found was an old, abandoned well, remnants of a few stone buildings and a dead stump. Clearing out the well, he followed the instructions he had put together from several years of searching. Cupping his hands, he drew water...

He had been seven years chasing down the elusive 'Tree of Life' when he returned to Athens where he owned a modest villa... but there he found plague had struck the city. Most of his servants already dead, the few remaining were already showing symptoms- he helped to inter the dead, dig new graves f...

Paul, if you are reading- do you see why I might write of a character who is in love with Phix?

Who's Naomi? Is this a joke people under a certain age don't get, or is it something I should totally know but I wasn't paying enough attention? (the latter happens all the time. I have a strange rate of exposure to culture) Old soap opera trope, Naomi was a peripheral character who never got any a...

"You are a long way from home, good sir," the old woman rasped as she listened to Herodotus' questions. "Indeed I am- but you have not told me what I am asking," he replied. "Indeed I have not- nor will anyone here. That which you seek is dead and gone, never to grace our pe...

But anyone woman who would kill and cook a squirrel for murdering her plants has just the right amount of crazy for me. There's probably a long, complex adjective, with roots in Greek and Latin and Nahuatl, which means "One who has a deep appreciation for the true worth of a really good vine-r...

AMEN!

Herodotus was 53 years old when he publicly recited ' The Histories ' at the Olympic Games... to great applause and reception. Written in Ionian Greek (as opposed to his own Dorian Greek), it became quite the seller and soon a team of scribes were engaged in it's publication. Thus secure in his old ...
