February 13, 2012 ~ 30-Day Blogging Challenge prompt is Love's slavation. Story Conclusion/ “How do you feel this morning, Red?” Lydia poured him a cup of coffee and then placed a toasted bagel on the plate in front of him. “Sore and glad to be alive,” he took a sip of coffee. “What time does the bus come in today?” “Noon,” she frowned, “I still think you should see a doctor. I don’t like the look of that bruise on your side.” “This afternoon I’ll let you take me to the hospital, OK.” He took a bit of the bagel, “In the mean time, is there a way to get Corrine and Jeffry to the Fisherman’s Hut about 12:00 PM.” “No need to, ever since Corrine got married she has worked on Valentines’ Day. She and Jeffry will be playing host and hostess as usual.” “How long has she been married?” “About two years, today is their anniversary. Why?” “Shall we go to the Fisherman’s Hut for lunch?” “Sure, Red,” she smiled, “what are you up to?” “Poetic justice,” he laughed. *** At precisely 12 noon, four women all dressed in scarlet got off the bus and walked into the Fisherman’s Hut. After they entered, Red and Lydia went into the restaurant. “My I help you,” Jeffry said, without looking up. “Of course, you can darling,” the women said in unison. Jeffry turned pale and grabbed the host stand to keep from passing out. “What’s wrong, Jeff,” Corrine said, “Do you know these women?” “Of course he does,” said Red stepping forward, “Mrs. Corrine Mason, may I introduce you to Jeffry’s other wives.”

February 12, 2012 ~ 30-Day Blogging Challenge prompt is Tragedy or near tragedy befalls for (?) from character list Red guided his vintage 1934 Harley-Davidson through the alley behind the Fisherman’s Hut and stopped it at the backdoor. Getting off, he removed his helmet and hung it on the handlebars. Then he removed a helmet from one of the saddlebags and placed it on the bitch seat. “So,” said Jeffry stepping from the shadow of the dumpster, “you’re waiting for Lydia, I presume.” “Yes,” he frowned, “tomorrow’s Valentines’ Day and neither of us wants to be alone.” “Going to make a night of it?” “Don’t know, Jeffry,” Red’s frown turned to a smile, “that’s up to the lady.” “Red,” Jeffry walked closer to his brother-in-law, “about Lydia’s introduction...” “You mean the part about you being Corrine’s husband?” “Yah, you ain’t going to tell her about Anna, are you?” “Jeffry, the only one of your wives I’m discussing this with is my sister, as for the rest...” Jeffry pulled a “Saturday night special” from his pocket and shot Red, who fell to the alley. Tossing the gun into the dumpster, Jeffry entered the Fisherman’s Hut through the backdoor. A few minutes later, Lydia came out. “Red,” she said as he pulled himself up from the ground. “Are you all right?” “Yes, Jeffry tried to kill me.” He stopped her as she took her cell phone from her apron pocket. “Don’t call 911, I’ll survive. This new bullet proof vest I’m wearing protects, even at point blank range, but I can’t steer the cycle.” “I can drive the Harley,” she smiled, “got my motorcycle license before I could drive a car. I’ll take you to the hospital.” “No,” he winced, “I don’t want Jeffry to know I’m still alive; at least, not until tomorrow afternoon.” “My place then,” she took the helmet off the handlebars and helped Red put it on and then she took the other for herself. “You don’t mind riding on the ‘bitch seat’ do you?” “It won’t be the first time.”

Characters meet the fam or social pals. “So,” said Red as Lydia poured him a second cup of coffee, “I suppose you have to work Valentines Day?” “Unfortunately, no,” Lydia smiled at his perplexed look. “Corrine has an... intriguing sense of humor.” “Oh?” “She schedules everyone, who is in a relationship to work and those of us who are unattached get the day off.” “I see,” he takes a sip of his coffee, “would you like to assist me in my investigation?” “Almost anything is preferable to spending another Valentine’s Day alone.” She smiles wickedly, “I gather your investigation concerns our conversation at the dock yesterday.” “Yes.” “Red, would you like to meet Corrine?” “Yes.” “Good,” she motioned to someone behind him, “because she and her husband just walked in the front door.” A tall slender blonde woman accompanies by a dark haired man came up to the counter. “Something wrong, Lydia,” said Corrine. “I want you to meet a new customer.” “Red,” Lydia smiled, “this is Corrine Hasting-Mason and her husband, whom I believe you know.” “Red,” Corrine frowned and the smiled. “You’re Red Johnson, Jeffry’s partner. Are you still looking for a restaurant to buy? “If the price is right.”

February 10, 2012 ~ 30-Day Blogging Challenge prompt is Boy meets girl, provide geographical setting Lydia sit on the faded green wooden boat dock holding her red tennis shoes in her lap, with her feet dangling in the cold water. She stared at the center of the lake, watching the watching the rowboat as it floated toward the opposite shore. The couple in the boat, locked in a passionate embrace, did not notice that they were floating farther and farther from the only dock on the lake. “Beautiful scene isn’t it, Lydia?” Said a red headed freckled man as he sit down beside her. “Yes,” she frowned trying to remember his name. “Mr. uh... I don’t seem to remember your name.” “That’s because we’ve never met.” He smiled and then offered his right hand. “I’m Ellis Johnson, but most people call me Red.” “Nice to meet you,” she shook his hand, but continued to frown, “Mr. Johnson. How’d you know my name?” “My brother-in-law, Jeffry Morgan, pointed you out to me earlier today.” “So you sister is Corrine?” “No, my sister’s name is Anna.” He glanced at the boat still floating toward the opposite shore. “I gather that’s Corrine he has in the boat with him.” “Yes, but I thought Corrine was his wife.” “She may be one of his wives. My investigation indicates he has at least three wives, not including my sister.” He rolled up his pant legs, pulled off his shoes and socks, and then let his feet dangle in the water. “Is Corrine a friend of yours?” “No, she owns the Fisherman’s Hut where I wait tables.” “That’s the best restaurant in Blue Lake, isn’t it?” “And the worst,” Lydia pulled her feet out of the water and began to put her shoes on. “It’s the only restaurant in this one boat town.”

| 733. Going to the library | ID #746727 |
| Posted: 2-9-2012 @ 8:36 pm EST | |
|
February 9, 2012 ~ 30-Day Blogging Challenge prompt is "Details for library visits." I haven’t been to the library in a long time. I’m not sure of the date of my last visit. I still have my library card; at least I think I still have it. I know I didn’t go in 2011, but I might have visit it in 2010. I have no good reason for not going. In fact the idea of going to the library sounds good because I might find some books I want to read, not that I need to go to the public library for that because I have my own personal library. I remember as a child “going to the library”. I enjoyed it. I had fun looking through the shelves. I always enjoy looking a through the library shelves; the problem with the last few years is standing up and walking so long. However, since I’m now wearing compression stockings that may no longer be a problem. I have to plan a visit to the library to find out, perhaps next week. The daycare bus picks Mom up between 8:00 and 9:00 AM. I could go after Mom left because the library opens at 9:00 AM except on Saturday and Sunday. On the weekends, it opens at 10:00 AM, but I can’t go then because Mom is home all day and since I have to take an oxygen tank when I take her anyplace, it is a bit difficult to get her out of the house even if she was willing to go. Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday are good days for me to go. I could go next Tuesday; if I can’t find my library card then I can get a new one. I should get a new one anyway because I may need a backup Internet access and the library has computers with access to the Internet. I need to make an appointment and they give you only about an hour or two, but if I plan the trip that wouldn’t be a problem. I have to put next Tuesday on the calendar for my library visit. I used to go without planning, but that isn’t possible any more. When I get into the library, I can lose track of time. I can spend all day in the library and now that I have Mom to care for that just isn’t a good idea. I have to be back at the house between 2:30 and 3:00 PM because the daycare bus returns Mom between 3:00 and 4:00 PM. Life used to be so much simpler. Plans for going to the library, go to library and get card. Check bookshelves for poetry, science fiction, and fantasy (not necessarily in that order); also check for new books.

| 732. Maybe Valentine’s Day isn’t only for couples | ID #746633 |

February 8, 2012 ~ 30-Day Blogging Challenge prompt is With Valentine's day is next week, how will you celebrate February 14th? If you have a significant other what will you do for them? if not, what will you for yourself? I normally don’t celebrate Valentine’s day because I’ve always considered it a couples holiday. I never considered doing anything for myself because all the ads emphasize couples activities and gifts. The most I ever do on to commemorate this holiday is write a story or poem. However, this year I’m going to take a different approach. I have a $2.00 off coupon for an ice cream cake from Baskin Robins. The cake pictured on the coupon is heart shaped with white frosting and red hearts. The message written on the coupon is “Surprise you Sweetheart”. The coupon is for any cake, with the minimum being a $12.00 cake. I think I’ll buy the $12.00 cake. I want either chocolate or strawberry; I’ll decide which one when I get into the store. I’ll probably buy the chocolate cake, but it depends on how I’m feeling that day. Sometime I like deciding on the type of cake or ice cream before going into the store and at other times I prefer to wait until I’m ready the purchase the ice cream cake. This year, I’m looking forward to Valentine’s day. Perhaps it isn’t exclusively for couples. After all, Saint Valentine did give his name to the day, so maybe, if I approach it with the right attitude, I can enjoy it as a single woman. I’ll have to do a little research on Saint Valentine.

February 7, 2012 ~ 30-Day Blogging Challenge prompt is ”Write whatever ya like!” I want a dryer, so that I don’t have to hang clothes on the drying rack and sheets across furniture when the weather is bad or I can’t make it out to the clothesline. I want a full stream of hot water in my kitchen rather the little bit that take an hour to fill my sink when I want to or have to wash dishes. I want a dishwasher that is connected so I don’t have to washes in the sink unless I want too. I want my oven that connected instead of sitting in the middle of my dining room. I want the space for my oven enlarged so I can get the oven installed. I want my garage cleaned out so that I can put my car in and close the door. I want a new living room set. I want furniture that looks nice and smells nice. I want my dining room table in my dining room instead of my living room. I want a new wardrobe; I am tired of wearing clothes someone else has given me. I want to be able to walk two blocks without having to stop and rest for five or six minutes. Now that I have written what I want, I have to get up and walk for ten minutes so I don’t get a blood clot.

February 6, 2012 ~ 30-Day Blogging Challenge prompt is MARCELLA SHALE, USA ---- I’m not sure about “Marcella Shale, USA”, but Marcellus Shale refers to energy development. Marcellus shale is an outcrop of marine sedimentary rock near Marcellus, New York. According to Wikipeda, Marcellus shale contains natural gas reserves. The location of this formation covers Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, and New York. Some of the gas wells are drilled near water wells, which cause concerns in the communities where these wells are located. Since I haven’t heard of this before and haven’t had a chance to do more research, I’m going to have to reserve my opinion until I can find more information on this subject.

| 729. The Serial Pen: A Free Verse Poem | ID #746529 |

February 5, 2012 ~ 30-Day Blogging Challenge prompt is Define a Serial Pen I know I already post something for February 5, but I’m going to respond to this prompt also. The serial pen writes one word after another, building the plot installment by installment, an extension of the author’s muse and mind. The serial pen once held in an author’s hand, in the twentieth century morphed into a computer keyboard, but remained an extension of the author’s mind and muse. The serial pen in the twenty-first century continues its transformation into... What? A text a tweet or an implant placed directly into the author’s brain.
