		<description><![CDATA[Bloggers and journalists insist that people love to read lists.  I know several confirmed &#8220;list-o-holics&#8221; and to tell the truth, I am enamored of the bullet point list, myself.  Lists, particularly Top 10 lists, appeal to people with short attention spans,  to those who want relevant information without all the filler words, and to those [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Apparently life is imitating art. My last story involved the tragic death of a squirrel who haunted the forest and spooked hikers in meanspirited glory for all eternity. And while taking a leisurely hike on my favorite trail last week, what did I see but ... seriously... a very dead squirrel perched on a branch, most definitely not sleeping. I, of course, was spooked. It looked kinda Blair Witch-y.

My friends, this means it's time to write a much more strategic story while Life is still enjoying imitating my Art.  (visit splarks.com for the full story!)

		<description><![CDATA[I found this weird little poem in my 2007 writing archives.  It popped into my head unbidden during a lakeside walk, and it had a vaguely Tom Waits feet to it, so imagine it sung by a gravely voice accompanied by lots of rhythmic banging and clanging.  If you don&#8217;t know who Jack of the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[(From the archives) Once upon a time there was a marmot named Beatrice. Beatrice was a very special marmot because she had three eyes. You might think this was a handy trait to have, but it actually triplicated her vision and made everything so blurry she couldn&#8217;t hunt. She depended on her boyfriend Reginald for [...]
