The declaration:
“Crashonda! My credit card don’t work!”

Naturally, I went home and drew the scene.

Just finished a major revision of Throwing Out Love Notes after I found more journals from the late 90s-early 00s, my Dennis Miller phase with quips about the likes of Bush, Clinton, Mcveigh, etc. Enough pages for a couple weeks worth of bathroom reads.

Today marks 11 years of Sobriety: Phase II for me. I gave myself another present of submitting a second book for publication in the early morning.

This is an assortment of published #blog posts, #lyrics and unpublished verse that covers the spectrum from fact to #fiction. Some of it is tongue in cheek, some in character, some is me as I really am. I will leave it to the reader to discern the truth from the bullshit.
