(belated) Memorial Day Weekend: Brothers, Buc-Ees and Car Trouble
We saw the first billboard about 130 miles out. Buc-Ee’s is coming, Buc-Ee’s is coming or something like that with maybe some exclamation points (I don’t remember) and a logo of a Beaver. I said to nephew Matt “Hey, isn’t that the place you were telling me of, the one you and Nick stopped at… Continue reading

Angel of Death: End Of Days, Route 9, Poughkeepsie??? (audio post revisit for the season)
Earlier this week I posted “Headstone” a fantastic video short voiced and built by a good friend and co-worker based on a flash fiction piece of mine, something for this spooky season, one that involves a graveyard’s groundskeeper coming across Death weeping at a long forgotten gravestone.
