The Untrustworthy Speaker
Don’t listen to me; my heart’s been broken. I don’t see anything objectively. I know myself; I’ve learned to hear like a psychiatrist. When I speak passionately, That’s when I’m least to be trusted. It’s very sad, really: all my life I’ve been praised For my intelligence, my powers of language, of insight- In the end they’re wasted- I never see...

My heart swelled inexplicably when I turned the key and caught the scent of something lovely, coming from the kitchen. I dropped my loaded bag and clowned a heart-attack when my son came running from his room and gripped my thumbs, and balanced on my shoes. And as I broke into our nightly dance— his graceless, middle-aged old man, I knew: that I will be content if this is all the heaven that...

A Poser By Any Other Name, Part 2 →
(I’m not working, but I’m shopping. I’m at the register when the man in front of me starts yelling at the cashier at the top of his lungs.)
Customer: “You can’t do this, d*** it! My coupons are good! Take them!”
Cashier: “Sir, these coupons are expired. I’m not allowed–”
Customer: “If you don’t take it, you’re gonna be expired! Take my coupons or I’ll sue! I’m a lawyer! I’ll sue you in...
Some Customers Leave Big Shoes To Fill →
(While standing in line as a customer, I notice a father and his two children in front of me. The son, about age 8, is sporting a Mohawk about as tall is he is. He looks positively adorable and when he turns and smiles at me, I return the smile.)
Boy: *tugging on his fathers coat* “Daddy, don’t flash all that money in your wallet! That b**** will take it! You always say how b****es are after...

Jagged Jaded Journalist and the Big Bad Blogger →
It would have been a good story, except for three things: (1) No names were given; (2) minimal details were given on the circumstances behind the restaurant owner’s allegations; and, to make matters worse, (3) the author used only one source (i.e., the restaurant owner named Georgia) in writing her article.
Danny Arao said it best.

The Inquirer article of Ms. Salcedo just opened a can of worms waiting to wriggle out and rear their ugly heads. I have long suspected that many of these so-called “food bloggers” and “beauty expert bloggers” are nothing but paid hacks. Nothing wrong with that. We all need to pay the bills. But a little integrity please. There is a term...

(It’s early morning. I need to organise my notes, so I sit down in the Reception area. The suited guy next to me is looking very nervous.)
Customer: “You’re a bit of a porker, eh?”
Me: “Excuse me?”
Customer: “You’re really chubby. I mean, they told me they were considering someone else for the position as well. But if you’re all I’ve got to compete with, I’ve got it already!”
(I realise that...

Southwest Airlines pilot holds plane for murder... →
It’s easy to be an airline industry critic in an era of “no waivers, no favors” and fees on top of fees. It’s easy to paint airlines as heartless corporations that treat us like self-loading cargo.
But every now and then, you hear a story that turns you into an adoring fan. Like Nancy’s story.
Before I continue, I should mention a few things: Nancy is a faithful reader of this site, and I...
