Although I didn’t say—did I: God, sanity, jealousy, and a few other incidentals, but as you will see, they were all ...

The Corral (North St. Paul, Minnesota; 1952)

From the Baltic
Anatolee Silluak, born on a farm, in a farm house in a region known as: Lithuania, in Russia, in the wastelands one might say, close to the Baltic Sea. It was the first of July of his 18th year of life, of his young life that is, when he leaned—nonchalantly, against the small three room wooden house on his parent’s farm, watching his father Yulie fix the roof. He was much like his father—father like son you might say, and his father was once quite handsome like his son: like to like, so ...
Is NBC's Reality Show 'Meet Mr. Mom' Out Of Touch With Reality?
Is the latest reality series from NBC, "Meet Mr. Mom" out of touch with reality? NBC describes the show this way.

The Fair Deal
The Fair Deal One fine summer’s evening, my wife Kim and I sat with a few of our neighbors out on the side porch of our house in North Chatham, N.Y., population 503. We talked politics.

We all appreciate that the American middle class, as we know it today, was largely created in the ...

Look at Me
The Mission [Günter Gunderson; Minneapolis, Minnesota; 1917] When he first came to America—a little placid, cleric-like face, juggernauts: while looking for work in the city of Minneapolis, and living in St. Paul (just a river apart), he had a few occasions where—having only one silver dollar in his pocket to his name—ended up at the mission eating. A tad degrading, but they served delicious food when one is hungry: chicken a few days old, with its skin on, gravy over it, with ...

The Big Mouse [St. Paul, Minnesota; 1959] “You boys upstairs go on to bed now—go to sleep, make sure you’ve turned off all the lights,” mother was saying. “Go on now!” she repeated herself, hearing me getting into bed; Mike was lying back in bed with his cloths on.

I heard our door, which ...
Look at Me
Look at Me [1951] The Great Flood of ’51 The night is dark, the Mississippi lies asleep, the moon is veiled in a velvet mist with a blood-spattered chest.

All who listen can hear the whisper of the ghostly storm booming far—encircling near, gliding overnight—overhead. Opening: The Mighty Mississippi, as it has been often called, could be a ...

Asylum
[The Voyage] On the ship, during its voyage, Anatolee would reminisce, grieve his past, the old kerosene lamps on the wooden floors in his home became lit: which lit up the pathway to the bedrooms—kitchen, and out to the out-house at night; and those rugs, those old, old, old warn out rugs kept over the wooden floors, over them to keep in the heat from the cold drafts seeping in from underneath the house through the floorboards, the winds that try to sneak through, as long winters gave ...

IZEE: Growing Up In A Logging Camp, Chapter 2
We moved to Izee early Saturday, to the house we had never seen the inside of. Mom was following in the car, Dad commandeering a borrowed pickup with all of our earthly possessions. Robert came with us to Izee, this time. Since Mom would be explaining to him "The boardinghouse rules" for high school away from home," I rode with Dad thinking it was funny that my brother got to eat more dirt than I did, as they followed us over the miles of unpaved road. Like a filthy phantom from planet dust, ...
