  Day Six of The Scintilla Project!  Talk about faith. Yours or someone else’s. I am an avowed agnostic, and a few years ago I discovered that I come by that honestly. My mom joined the Worldwide Church of God when I was four, and although we kept thinking that one day Daddy would...

March 19, 2012
The Scintilla Project,  Day 5: Talk about a time you got away with it. I didn’t really get away with it. But on the plus side, in the end I didn’t go to jail. I didn’t even cultivate a shiny new criminal record. It was so mortifying that I did not tell anyone who didn&rsquo...

March 15, 2012
  Prompt #3 for The Scintilla Project: Talk about a memory triggered by a particular song. I have a whole head crammed full of memories that are triggered by several decades worth of songs, so I kept hoping I could write about a memory involving a really cool song. An impressive song. O...
