”...and when the smoke clears, we will dance!”
As I sat there, listening to my uncle’s weird plan to become famous, I realized that when my Dad laughed at my casual dismissal of the insanity that seemed to run through every member of his family except him. He was not joking.
If it had been any other member of his family, though, I would have been looking for a length of rope to hang myself with. As long as he doesn’t talk about his bunions, I should be able to withstand the next three, long hours.
Then, he said, “I should be okay with that plan unless my bunions flare up.”
Maybe I should start looking for that rope now.

I’ve always wanted to write stories, but I’ve never been able to get past a certain point. That is why ficlets are so cool. The point I usually get stuck at is just about the perfect length for a ficlet.
If anybody wants to tell me something about any of my stories, please, please leave me a comment, or if you don’t want everyone to see it, send me a note.
If you want to find any of my stories, but all you know is the title, just pick any one word from the title and search for it in tags.
Some quotes:
“Pain is your friend, it let’s you know you’re still alive.”
“A journey brings us face to face with ourselves.”
“I will face my fears, I will let them pass through me!”
“Practice makes permanent, perfect practice makes perfect.”
“Great minds are fascinated by simple things, simple minds are fascinated by everything!
