This is me, cheating, and hoping that I don’t therefore violate the integrity that I, as a storyteller, have developed with you, the half dozen or so loyal followers that I have garnered over the years. If you feel like mocking, stoning, or otherwise berating and vilifying me in public, well, I thoroughly understand.
At any rate, this story is actually an old one which I’ve revised a touch for this project. I didn’t want to cheat, I promise, but what with us leaving early this week for Thanksgiving without guaranteed reliable Internet access and NaNoWriMo having already consumed my soul and not enough stories in reserve, I’ve had no choice. I first wrote this story a few years ago, but I haven’t shared it around for quite awhile. In years past it was well received. Particularly by members of my own family… which, I suppose, should probably give me second thoughts about spending the holidays with them.
Enjoy!

Here’s a couple of things I’ve ended up telling people over the past few months: “Our vacuum cleaner isn’t working properly anymore. It needs a software upgrade.” “Honey, I forgot the shopping list. Could you email it to my phone please?” Statements which we make almost without pausing these days, but which only would have [...]

Yet another Terrible Tale for Tiny Trolls. Enjoy!
November’s stories are all going to be very short. After all, it’s National Novel Writing Month, which I participate in each year.

This is a pretty technical post, so please, feel free to ignore it. I post this here mostly as a reminder to myself as to how to make the features work and also as a resource to anyone else who might be trying to same task.

Apparently today is World Philosophy Day (or maybe yesterday was, or tomorrow will be… it all depends upon a host of epistomological questions which have been investigated for thousands of years but which have never been resolved). In honor of the event, BBC News Magazine has an article featuring four philosophical conundrums which will make [...]

Today, the California Supreme Court has agreed to take on three lawsuits challenging Proposition 8. Let’s hope they do the right thing, and overturn it. According to the article, “All three cases claim the ban abridges the civil rights of a vulnerable minority group. They argue that voters alone did not have the authority to [...]

This week’s story is a sequel to a story I wrote a few years ago, “Little Fluffy Wiggletoes“, which proved to be one of my most popular stories, for some reason. I’ve been asked for a sequel for some time, so here it is.
I’ve got a whole cycle of stories for Little Fluffy Wiggletoes in mind. He’s got quite the adventure ahead of him.

California, which voted overwhelming for Barack Obama and which passed Proposition 2 (requiring better living conditions for egg producing chickens) somehow also passed Proposition 8, which removes the right of same sex couples to marry in California. To my way of thinking, this is ludicrous. I’ve stated before, and I’ll state again, that in a [...]

Not much to say about this one. It’s another of the Terrible Tales for Tiny Trolls, which is turning into an ongoing series; I have a couple more in mind, and when I get around to cleaning up some of the language and removing some of the more adult components, I think these might actually work as children’s stories.
