Recently, I made a trip downtown to the courthouse. I needed a copy of a document and that’s where they keep them. I parked my car on the street, fed the meter, started walking and caught my toe on something. On what??? Who knows.

Word tools
Are you always searching for just the right word for your story? I certainly am. When I need correct spellings, definitions or an ally against banal, trite cliché, dictionaries and thesauruses are my tried-and-true tools. I have several at my fingertips on my iPhone.
Jazzed at the Quapaw Bath House
Last Friday night I got all Jazzed at the Fourth Annual Jazz Experience at the Quapaw Bath House in my hometown, Hot Springs, Arkansas. Jacqueline Beaumont – or Jacqui B. straight from Myrtle Beach, SC – joined the AJE Combo in a night of songs and stories for a mere $15.
To make the night even more palatable, there was free finger food courtesy of the Jazz Society members and a cash bar. About half the audience were Village people (folks living at Hot Springs Village, the largest private community in the U.S., not the singers of Y.M.C.A.). Being among the 5 youngest in attendance made me feel young. At intermission, I won a gorgeous Razorback glass birdbath (or whatever I want to use it for…) for which I turned down an offer of hard, cold cash. The U of A is my alma mater , football season is right around the corner and this new addition is a huge step up from my plastic pig snout. Woo Pig Sooie! Go hogs!!!
