Prometheus Passage -1-

The Comet Prometheus
In 1933 a re-examination of photographic plates taken at the Lowell Observatory in the 20s and early 30s revealed the existence of a large, fast-moving object in the outer Solar System. Moving too fast and in the wrong part of the sky to be a planet, it was considered a comet.

After calculating its sun-grazing orbit, a scientific committee suggested the name Prometheus which is the name that stuck in the public mind when the object began to make the news.

It's still called Comet Prometheus today when its nature is better understood though much disputed. And CP is the symbol used for Prometheus in astronomical references.

The Family Tree

One day, the Grandfather led his Granddaughter to a lone Sequoia Red wood standing in the woods. The Grandfather laid out a picnic for them to eat as his Granddaughter got ready for a swim. Under her shorts and top was her girls swimsuit.

The Adventures of Lizzie Jane is my baby. I never expect to write anything else like it and I hope that all of you and everyone else will accept the newly revised version. When I read it, I can see places where I put my heart and soul into the story.

Morning had broken.

Saw her standing there.

"What's it like outside?" she asked.

"Total bright sun -- something like a desert."

"Oh yeah."

"You know," she said, struggling with the granola bar wrapper, "if they made things easier to open, I know a lot of people who would be very happy"

The Deaf Genie

 One Day, there were two friends sitting down to eat in a local cafe. When Dinner was ordered, they began to talk.

"Well Tommy, it looks like your operation went well."

The Story

This is a story about ... stories, and how they relate to the tenuous experience many people refer to as "reality".

Troll and Butterfly

 Trolls are just mean, nasty monsters that would shred a pretty butterfly between their long, jagged teeth just as soon as look at them ... right? Maybe. Maybe not.

What! the power's out again??

The power is out again. How often have I read in the blog section that this storm or that may affect the status of a web server. How often will this happen to you? When I lived by the Susquehanna River in Maryland I could rely on the electricity going out with every thunderstorm.

King Of The Rim

In the far future, human have colonized the galaxy. Many planets called for the adaptation of the body to meet the conditions of the planet and in some cases, mutations happened as the populace adapted to the new environs.

In the Beginning - a Tree's Story

 I don't talk to trees ... honest. At least, I'd never admit to talking to them. But if I were the kind of girl who might find herself talking to an old oak tree on a chilly fall morning, asking why its leaves were falling off, and if that tree decided to answer me, this is the story the tree might have told me.
