IRISH ON EMAIL, SPELLED IMPATIENT Groovy thing about blogs, they're nonsensical, nostalgic, non sequitors, sometimes non applicable especially this one. Hold on a sec before forgetfulness crests tired shoulders. Aside: where did I leave my shillelagh? ... oh nevermind. Ah, my wire rim specks of gold .. oh in the corner. Okay. Might need that to cane a burglar on this blog. Shoo! HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY, EVERYONE! Of blogs, like to think this one's notorious. Wish... [Read more]

SCENE SETTING, VERMONT TO MAINE DAWN CRESTS the low top of the Lamborghini Murcielago, six speed, L-V-8, shining in the receding moonlight like a deep pool of ebony swirls. Upon a mountain top pond, ice shifts. Inside her temporary rental, Teff aka Mary Moffett makes her final phone call from the coldest living room known to mankind. No matter what you did to the windows with reams of triple thick plastic, taped flawlessly against aluminum storm glass, average temps hovered at a me... [Read more]

One thing Bobby can't imagine is how overcrowded Eastern Maine Insane Hospital's psychiatric wards must have been. He rounds the first building, slipping on icy sidewalks, grabs onto the door, buffeted by a strong wind. Holding tight to the foot long flashlight, Overson lent him, he enters vast, eerie emptiness of a hospital from the past. As if out of respect for residents long gone to their perspective graves, he tiptoes along the dusty corridor, shoulders tapping against pee... [Read more]

DISCLAIMER: The tale of Gina and Crazy Bobby is a work in progress as well a work of fiction. No reference in these blog/ sections re: actual places in fact pertain to the characters in this story. However, Teff is real. Although pretty damn free spirited, her actual whereabouts as being an insider relevant to this story are as you read those lines before you. Naturally, up to your interpretations. Not meaning to give away the fun of the chase here, so that's all for now. RE: Mr S... [Read more]

Dizzy as a diving loon, bustled leeward to starboard inside Sam Overson's Chevy work van, Crazy Bobby from New York is totally unprepared for the sight of the architectural wonder at the top of Hepatica Hill. Negotiating rising streets of Bangor, Sam glides up State Street. Pausing a mini-second for the stop sign on Hogan Road, he then turns abruptly onto Mt. Hope Avenue. Suddenly, without a smidgen of warning there she be. The Bangor Mental Health Institute survives its lookout pe... [Read more]

Gina's chamomile tea goes down like a rock. Feeling listless she wanders into the office-den, wondering what Bobby's up to in town. He's the type who goes all schizophrenic when a new idea sets into his noggin. At least his head's in better shape than hers, she muses, shuffling papers with her good arm. It's a good thing she's right handed. Swinging the cast while keeping her balance, neck as straight as an ironing board, Gina's unsurprised to find Bobby'... [Read more]

WHILE ... Gina lingers between pain and a pot of chamomile tea she drags herself to the sloppy, flour strewn kitchen to brew ... Crazy Bobby's belted inside the work van belonging to Sam Overson driving like a bat-out-of-hell to his work destination. Sam's taken on a contract to fix frozen drainage in the laundry room of the Bangor Mental Health Institute, one of the closest hospitals. Although mesmerized since Sam's assured him of vast arcane storage areas for outda... [Read more]

Bobby slides into an icy spot in front of BEELINE MAINE'S BEST BAKERY at approximately 7 a.m. Grabbing the trays of freshly baked loaves he enters the establishment. Only to behold a weary eyed group of customers cradling their morning brews of choice like swimmers holding onto lifesavers in rough seas. Outside, waves crash and beat upon the port of Bar Harbor without mercy. The town clock, atop the Merchants Bank prints out the temperature, a grueling five degrees. Snow is predict... [Read more]

RECAP: Crazy Bobby from NY spots Gina a break in the kitchen. Gina took over Teff's bread baking business last autumn. Unfortunately before winter set in with a vengence Gina's unfortunately nailed by the renegade Beelzebub the Doberman who escapes. Gina sports a series of stitches. Bobby takes care of her, assumes control of the daily baking Teff starts in blog no ___________. He insists the bread mixing go smoother ( a pun) and ... GINA!!! Huhnnnhhh? Bobby ch... [Read more]

Mulling over E's fine letter via comments, TEFFITOR can still think to weed out specific topics, and believe it, there's much there and I like what E sez. Esprit's fancy foot note below in the comment section does sev things. Allows for compliments to TEFF. If anyone likes to assume because I'm blackcase that I can't give accurate, adequate or usually damn good writing advice author-to-author ... then you might be wrong. My friend, E knows this.

Of smileys --- Actually, since there's stoodles who use them, the schoolbus grins are ignored completly by Paula LaRue and Harold Plotsworthy.

Why just the other day it occurred to me changes happen without folks having one damn thing to do with them. This we saw coming out of DC since 2001. Whether or not one weathers the storm, battens down the hatches or not somewhere, somehow in some way change will cunningly slip thru the net like a greased piglet trying to escape a frying pan. Sure, nothing enlightening there in due respect. Take for e.g. an advert which came our way on wc, one of many, nothing wrong with it... [Read more]

At the crack of dawn, Gina is wrapped in a down sleeping bag and placed in a dilapidated recliner. She lists to the right looking out the kitchen window. Her long neck which bears a series of zigzag stitches, compliments of the local doctor who dressed her wounds (the result of an unprovoked attack from a vicious dog living on the property) stretches like a porcelain pillar. Bobby leans against the counter, attempting to follow the wheat bread recipe for twenty loaves delivered fresh da... [Read more]

OCTOBER 2007 THE CHICKEN COOP which came with the reatal that Gina, Crazy Bobby and Teff took outside the Acadia National Forest Range near Bar Harbor, Maine ... lay along a rocky, overhanging path. On dew laden mornings, the walk across granite stones is slippery. On frigid mornings when thin ice coats the pathway is damn right treacherous. During snow storms the place is best approached with a partner since everyone who knows one damn thing about keeping chickens also knows these s... [Read more]
