A Granger Story – 2nd Cup of Coffee, 11/3/18: THE GRANGER EFFECT ~ Ch. 2
2 I sat sipping some great Ruta Maya medium roast and reflecting on the call I just got from Sparks. And dabbing. Somehow, a little of the coffee was spilled on the sleeve of my flannel shirt. No idea how that might’ve happened. However, the irregular blob of ochre brown, though complimentary to the barn … Continue reading
2nd Cup for 6/18/18 – “ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT” For The GENTLY USED
It had been a relaxing summer break, but the choir was ready for our annual “Let’s Make Music Together” catered taco feed and karaoke night.

Ever notice some of your most incisive thoughts and most brilliant debates occur in the shower when you can’t record them for mankind? I have a big 4′ by 3′ mirror in my bathroom. We are not friends in the morning. “PING”. Idea. I got some black dry-erase markers and began capturing all that early-morning … Continue reading
How NOT To Celebrate One’s Anniversary
So I found this card that I, as a man, knew – KNEW – would dazzle her. It had an exotic exterior that could only be described as ‘Jungle Chique’. Jungle. Coffee. Right? In the jungle clearing sat two leopards: one, a slim, svelte female – smaller, naturally – and a boldly-put-together, powerfully-muscled leopard male-type dude … Continue reading
