Hey guys -- having some internet difficulties, so please don't think I've gone off the grid. Should be cleared up by next week!
My friend Mark (not the famous Walking Man) opened a drawer and found a rattlesnake. I turned this event -- in which he shot at the snake (the operative word in this sentence is at), thereby leaving a huge hole in his floor, snake unharmed -- into an essay. I guess I think of this as the perfect metaphor for writers. We're always looking for things and finding the unexpected. Any thoughts of strange experiences with writing or drawers? I'm in the last edit stage of a big project and am pleased to report that it is slightly more pleasant than a root canal. Hope everyone is having a great week!

usually "at" the snake is the way it happens. And the result is often not good.
Michelle, recently a friend opened a shed door and had a LARGE snake drop down on his head. He still gets sick to his stomach when he has to tell the tale. As a child I loved Faygo redpop and used it to a 'lipstick' effect. No one is shocked, right? xoxo
Blue Faygo and raspberry vodka.
Helps the lady and I shoot many a snake dead.
Hope your internet's behaving now. Ours ran like freaking molasses all day yesterday. I HATE "lightning-fast," overpriced, satellite internet! Argh!
