Sometimes when too much time passes between my writing sessions, the creativity builds up like magma under an Icelandic volcano with an unpronounceable name. Then a day comes along when the creativity magma blasts a hole in the glacier of housework that I’m supposed to be doing, shooting shards of crazy into the atmosphere over [...]

Okay, so today I was gonna participate in a “serious” blog carnival hosted by a really cool British expat pastor guy named Peter Pollock. I like what he writes; it always makes you think.

That’s what the counter staff shout at you at the Varsity, an Atlanta landmark restaurant. You’re standing there at a 500-foot-long counter (at least that’s the way I remember it…), with 92 counter staff.

You might have noticed that I haven’t been around much in the past few days. Didn’t notice? Well, it’s a good thing I don’t get some sick self-esteem boost from having your approval, or I’d be REALLY bummed. {sniff} Anyway, I have been a little AWOL.
