I almost made a tremendous mistake with my life. Fortunately, a long drive and some hard thinking and sudden revelation have instead led to a life-altering decision. I've been kinda thinking of it as my very own Road to Damascas moment. Today’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday is a combo of the February 4 and then…

Keep That Towel on the Shelf — Stream of Consciousness Saturday (#SOCS)
"Don't you do it." For whatever reason, as often happens with these things, a random image popped into my skull at today's prompt. Apollo Creed telling Balboa not to throw in the towel againgst . . . what was the Russian's name. Drago. That's it. Hmmmm, Ivan Drago. Khal Drago, I wonder if Georgie Boy…
Boxes and Blackboards and Cats, Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS
Fingernails. Blackboard (or chalkboard, they were black in my grade and high school). That's how much I cringe when I see or hear the phrase "out-of-the-box thinking," tge first thing I thought of when I saw today's prompt. And so we begin the 2nd consecutive (yay, me) Stream of Consciousness Saturday from Linda G. Hill's…

Baby, It’s Not Cozy Outside – Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS
Is he offering her a discount for "rich, Corinthian leather"? Or, perhaps, preparing to hurl his wrath at Captain Kirk? Or singing in Neptune's Daughter? It is far from warm and cozy outside. Sweettinybabyjesusborn2022yearsagotomorrowbyyourvirginmotherstitsitscold. I haven't been this cold since a deer-hunting trip to Brownsville, Texas when I was in high school - must've been…
Anyway, A Double Dose of Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS
Anyway, here's a SoCS double-dose. I wrote one last week, and then couldn't get into my WordPress account. First up, the prompt for December 10; then scroll on down for today's prompt: Anyway. Struggled a bit with this prompt, as the first two things that popped into my head: A very inappropriate joke around a…
Ambling Along – Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS
I am a fan of the word "amble." It's an accurate description of my usual walking speed (see also, mosey, saunter, stroll, or meander). Today's Stream of Consciousness prompt from Linda G Hill is, of course, "-amble": Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “—amble.” Add letters to the beginning of “-amble” to make…
O Fortuna, A Musical Interlude for Stream of Consciousness Saturday (#SoCS)
As usual, two things popped into my head simultaneously at today’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt: The Carmina Burana’s “O Fortuna” trackYou’ve given me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it, I thank you all Marginalia found in medieval manuscripts is bizarre and fascinating and cool and I think I'm going to get…
I Won’t Let Go of Disney – Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS
Well, there’s my earworm for the day:Let it go, let it go something something I don’t actually know the words so those three words will be tumbling in my head for a good little bit. Huzza. Not. OTH, maybe it’ll replace Wig Wam’s “Do you wanna taste it, do you really wanna taste it” from…
