A ghostly cloud frames a blank face with flashpoint eyes. I think of her while watching it drift across the endless dark. Behind me a deer snorts a warning to leave which I ignore in favor of trying to determine the color of the universe. Cats sit at my feet and perhaps wonder what my … Continue reading A Welcome to the Perseids
Now that I’ve quit smoking, I can state with complete confidence that I’m the only American on the planet that is not addicted to something that helps them deal with financial troubles, health issues, shitty jobs, relationship nightmares and/or Donald J. Trump. So what do I do about my lifelong poverty, severe depression, rapid … Continue reading Fool Me Once…
For once I'm not going to blather on. I'll let The Lost Tarot speak for itself.
This isn’t about Chris Cornell. It’s about me. A few days ago while staring at a blank screen and listening to alternative 90s rock on Pandora something weird happened. The Freshmen by The Verve Pipe played and a few songs later Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve poured through my headphones. Using any excuse to avoid … Continue reading This Isn’t About Chris Cornell
I wrote the following about fifteen years ago after my wonderful mother passed away. I wish her amazing great-grandsons Wiley and Denley could have known her. She would have loved them so much. ************************************************************************************ I look nothing like my mother and our personalities couldn’t have been more different. I inherited two major things from … Continue reading Missing Mom

What is it about Brian Christopher that makes people watch his YouTube channel? Perhaps it’s his good looks. The man makes a good first impression. Maybe it’s because his laugh sounds … Continue reading Watch Me Play

The second will be Steven Pomerantz, the writer and director. Steven graciously - and I’m imagining with some trepidation - agreed to being interviewed … Continue reading Everyone Loves a Winner
My vacation is almost over. I spent it running errands and dealing with the grumpiness of The Remote Control Terrorist. In his never-ending plot to irritate me to the point of planting an axe in his forehead while he’s sleeping, the man upped his game. He decided to schedule having all his teeth pulled … Continue reading Christmas in April!
Do you like conspiracy theories? Well, I have one for you. I turned 60 in 2015. At that exact moment, my hair was invaded by aliens. These microscopic interstellar motherfuckers now inhabit the hair on the left side of my head parallel to my ear. “Oh, Kat,” you might say. “Have you been smoking crack?” … Continue reading Invasion of the Hair Follicle Snatchers
I watch two hours of cable news every morning to get a jump-start on being irritated for the rest of the day. Even more annoying than the know-it-all and smug pundits, are the commercials shown that early. Acne medicine endorsed by has-been celebrities, an instrument used to clip the claws of a dog injected … Continue reading Call Me a Romantic
