I wrote this piece about home schooling the children long before the quarantine got started, but it proved to be one the most (well, probably the only) prescient things I’ve ever done. It’s on a comedy site called Defenestration. Two minutes is all I ask.
Short Story: The Ecolodge
It’s been a while since I’ve had an oddball sci-fi piece put up someplace, but Jokes Review came through for me (and you – they came through for you too!). It will take a scant 4 minutes of your time.
Short Story: Poll Results Suggest 50% of Participants Think this Date Will Lead to Something
I’m happy to have another piece up on Little Old Lady Comedy. It’ll only take two minutes to read, so there’s really no reason not to do it right now, especially if you’re currently on a date.
Short Story: A Flight Attendant Reveals – They Pay Attention, Now That I Start the Safety Demonstration with “I’m Not Racist, But…”
Months ago, the line, “I’m not racist, but” – followed by something entirely mundane – started as a joke in my standup comedy routine. I couldn’t make it work right, so I dropped it. But I kept thinking about it, and eventually birthed this story. It’ll take barely two minutes to read.
The website that picked up this story is Little Old Lady Comedy. It’s one of the most consistently funny humor sites I’ve come across.
Travel: A Shakespearean Tragedy on a Paraguayan Ranch
We went to Paraguay in 2017. I wrote “A Shakespearean Tragedy on a Paraguayan Ranch” about one aspect of our stay there. It took me a long time to find a publisher with the sense of humor required for this particular piece, but Danse Macabre fits the bill nicely. A three-minute read.
Reverse Travel: The Long Goodbye
Piker Press put up “The Long Goodbye“, a non-fiction piece about one of our hosting adventures. Wait, is it an adventure if we don’t go anywhere? Hmm…deep.
A five-minute read.
Short Story: The Wallet
This one, The Wallet, is not science fiction. No aliens, ghosts, or magic potions. It’s a mystery. The publisher, Mysterical-E, runs only mysteries, so I’m flattered that they chose it. A 19-minute read.
Standup Comedy – Coming Out
Last night I debuted my standup comedy routine at the Revival Theater here in Hyde Park. The video misses the first 5 or 10 seconds, but it won’t take long to pick up the plot. 4:41.
Short Story: Traditional
Engaged? Or thinking of popping the question? Then this is for you. It’s barely a two-minute read, and come on, is being on time for that next thing you have to do really all that important?
Short Story: Perfect in Almost Every Way
Here’s a romantic story, with time-travel, that went up on a site called /Asymmetry. It will take 9 minutes to read.
