Music is Memories

"There is a universal language to be sure, math and one of its sublime dialects...music. Your story hits on both. Bravo." ~James Hamman DDS

"Sweet memory. I have some of the same. Beautifully written, as always." ~Martha

As with the smallpox virus, I believed the last remaining copy of “Islands In The Stream” had been sequestered. I believed debates were ongoing for its incineration, so nothing would remain of it but horrific stories of personal suffering, and painful memories of tragic dates. I believed wrong.

Nothing To See Here, Folks.

January 29, 2015 by Kerry Fores in HUMOR, ALL

Product placement – as sure as I’m writing this on a 13” Apple MacBook Pro with Retina display – has grown from subliminal messages on movie screens to being so overt I’d wager my Craftsman tool set (with lifetime guarantee) that most people don’t recognize that much of what they see is advertising.

My Early Years as A Writer: No Substance, But the Spelling Was Poor

Roosevelt Elementary School

December 14, 2014 by Kerry Fores in HUMOR, ALL

By second grade, having turned my back on singing, I took to writing. In the envelope holding my second grade report card I found – folded imperfectly to a quarter its original size – a yellowed, wide-ruled notebook page with a fringed right margin and the carefully-penciled lettering of an 8-year-old boy. My first bit of travel writing!

Free Pie

August 27, 2014 by Kerry Fores in HUMOR, ALL

I passed a gas station advertising a free gallon of milk with a $7.99 pie purchase. Oh I felt it immediately; the quickening of my heart, sweaty palms, a shortness of breath at the thrill of the chase. Oh yes chase, because surely everyone driving by sees this amazing deal and there is a line for gas station pie. I must get in that line before the pie is gone.

Now Self-Serving Kerry "Danger" Fores

"Oh man, brilliant post. I snorted, lol'd rather deeply for a woman and got the 3 yapping ankle biters all riled up. Great job!" ~Nichole Starr

Q: Did you make any of these questions up just so you could tell us more about yourself?
A: I have no direct knowledge that that occurred but I will look in to those allegations and take swift action, if necessary, to maintain my approval rating. You folks deserve no less.

What's In A Name?

He asked my name again, in a more polite manner, and I told him it was Danger. Anger again flashed in his eyes...

The Problem With Target

May 14, 2014 by Kerry Fores in HUMOR, ALL

There have been ongoing problems with Target that have gone unreported by the mainstream media. In this post – my first with a guest writer - we take a look at those problems from both the female and male perspective.

How Did We Get Here?

April 02, 2014 by Kerry Fores in HUMOR, ALL

My road here was painful. I thought more than once about turning back. Buoyed by all three—both—of my fans, I kept at it until it was too late to request a refund. So lucky us, we are together at last. And lucky you, you stumbled in here for free.
