After a long hiatus caused by nothing more than laziness and too much staring at the TV (and a few actual life stresses), going to give SoCS another go this year. After all, these are fun to "write" -- your mileage on reading may vary. As you may have guessed, "in the corner" was today's…

Of Caves and Cavemen: Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS
"CAPTAIN, CAAAAAAVVVVVVVEEEEMAAAAANNNNNNNNN!" Today's prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday from Linda G. Hill is "cave." Use it as a subject, verb, or whatever. I have vague memories of watching Captain Caveman as a kid. Always liked how he rummaged around in his beard/hair and would come out with whatever was needed. There was always something…
Valiant Valium – Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS
Valiant. It's hard these days, but all of us need to be valiant in the face of the corruption and outright evil emanating from the Oval Office now and for the past three years. And in the face of the incredible stupidity and ignorance (that's always been a part of the American tradition) of a…
The Great S Hunt and the Lie of Practice Makes Perfect #SOCS
When I first saw the prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday, I immediately thought of the days of my life I spent switching “s” out for “z” (and vice versa) editing the European version of e-doc. What a huge PITA (not the tasty platform for hummus). Today’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday (on a Sunday) post…
Pink Elephants, Roadhouse, and Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS
I've always half-wanted to own a bar. As long as I can remember, the name of that bar would be (is going to be?) "The Pink Elephant." The first response from folks (and one of the first things that popped into my head) is that "it sounds like the name of a gay bar." Which,…
Rasslin’ Memories Courtesy of Sumo and #SoCS
To BE the man you gotta BEAT the man. WOOOOOO! Ric Flair Don't let the bulk fool you, these guys are tremendous athletes. Photo by Bob Fisher on Unsplash The prompt for today’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday took a sideways path via samurai and bujitsu to be focused on, of all things, rasslin’ (or “wrestling” for you non-southerners…
Wowza – Cow Poop, Music, Football, and Memories of Things Past #SoCS
As I sit here to type out today's Stream of Conciousness Saturday (on a Saturday this time!), I've got not much clue where this is going to go. Usually, something pops into my head. This time around, all I got is: owie, wow, wowza, and whoa (and, whoa doesn't even work). Sigh. Let's plop the…
My Last Next Year #SOCS
Ah, yes, the end of another year (and decade this time around) and the beginning of another. Time for folks to trot out their resolutions that will all be nearly discarded by March because they aren't really resolutions, they're just wishes without a plan. I've done the same. Many times. Today's Stream of Consciousness Saturday…
Hawaiian Shirts Aren’t Loud, They’re a Splendid Sartorial Choice #SOCS
THIS IS BOB FIEBER. Hey, Bob, what do you do?I'M IN ARTILLARY.Can we play anything for you today, Bob?ANYTHING, JUST PLAY IT LOUD, OK? Adrian Cronauer, GOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING, VIETNAM!!!!!!! As usual with Linda G. Hill's prompts for Stream of Consciousness Saturday, I never quite know what's going to pop into my head on any given…
The Trite, But True, Key to Life #SoCS
Zetan's Book of All Knowledge from The Circle of Iron. Snipped from the movie. Sometimes the journey of self reflection involves a king fu movie. There aren’t many things I know to be true, but I do know that the key to being happy is to be happy in oneself. How we all get there…
