Dead tired

Every night I
play Russian Roulette with sleep
instead of bullets.

Boob tube

I lock the TV
behind the armoire doors so
I can get work done.

Deadline

Some days it feels like
all I do is sit on this
couch and write for hours.

Overworked

When the going gets
tough, I end up sleeping on
the couch, fully clothed.

Trick or treat

Decorations for
Halloween still not up. Life
seems scary enough.

San Diego fire 12 -11:20 pm EST

Nighttime landscapes blaze.
Lines of fire on hillsides trace
borders of life death.

San Diego fire 11 – Waiting

No word from Anne. I
am not one for prayer, but
put hands together.

San Diego fire 10 – Anne’s hometown

Oh, God…CNN
is in Spring Valley, shooting
by Vons grocery.

Disaster at a distance

Hunkered down on the
couch, I watched Katrina and
9/11 here.

San Diego fire 9 – Sanctuary

Googled North Island.
A Navy dentist, Dick and
Anne can shelter there.
