"Joy in spite of everything!" -Tom Robbins
Now, I know that many folks I invite into this may not read it or engage in it all. I'm not even certain I'll post anything, but I'm going to try. I've always hacked around the idea of being a writer, but I don't practice enough to get any good at it. So I'll see if technology will help me become an author, and maybe help me stay in touch, too.
I admire my dad for putting on his author's cap and writing little stories about life on the Toogoodoo (That's the Butler Plantation (BP) for those of ya'll who don't know). I'd like to write some stories about the Pacific Northwest. I just so happen to live in the South East quadrant of Portland, so now you get my title for the blog. A little double entendre, see.
Here goes nothing.
ok, do not go any lower if you don't want to be traumatized by what was in my bathtub this morning. At the very least, don't look at it alone. Really quite monstrous. Of course my mother had to go and ask the unutterable question: "I wonder how it got in?" Really, mom? REALLY?
ReplyDeleteI came back from a run, intending to deal with the messy business stuck in my drain from the massacre earlier...THE THING WAS ALIVE!!! Ok, so i figured if it could withstand my tsunami, it deserved to live. I actually got it in a plastic bag and released it into the wild (across the street of course; i don't want that bugger coming back over here).
I'm so glad that I inspired someone! I will definitely be following along and reading about your life in the SE. I'm very curious about people's everyday lives when they aren't Portland natives. I'm interested to get a southerners take on the northwest.
