100 Words on Moral
This one is a quickie. I’m about to watch the VeeP debates and I’m all set with my nachos, chai, and an ice cold beer. This is a spectator sport. Isn’t it? So let’s roll out the submissions.
Lessa slid in past the deadline, but I forgive her because she ended up being my pick of the week. I like the spunk and rebellion of this piece, and it was just what I needed as the frost begins to settle over the night.
“It ain’t RIGHT. It jus’ ain’t an you know it Joseph Daniel Scranton!” I stomped my foot and glared at him, but he ain’t seem to care. He never did. He’d just grin that lil grin of his an’ expect me to jus’ do whatever it was he wanted. An’ right now? He wanted me t’realize somethin’, somethin’ I weren’t ready to realize jus’ yet.
He finally jus’ pulled me close, an’ held on tight. “Ain’t no place in this for what’s moral or right. Jus’ for hangin’ tough. So hang with me, like always.”
Like I had a choice.
- Lose yourself over at Losing Yourself, a newcomer.
- VIU will make you question the art of surveillance
- I, Rodius is taking the hands off approach
- JM and a delicious slice of life a’la Frank
- Sassy Mama weaves us a bedtime haiku (brilliant)
- Ninja delivers a strike in the dark at our illusions of morality
- Don’t think those kids aren’t listening to you Grandma (so says Patsy)
- Night Blogger sticks it to morality good.
I don’t have a book handy with me. I’m writing this from a cafe that is staying open late to air the debates. I watched the presidential debates here last week, and I love it. All these local people gathering together to discuss politics. Throws me right back to a time when we cared. If they had a fireplace, some wingback chairs, and smoking pipes I would die of romantic nostalgia. So, from a sign on their door:

I guess I blew it - I never linked in my 100 words on moral and got into the blend. Phooey.
Wow! Thanks VV!
Thanks VV for the kind words.
Here’s my 100 words for this week.
I decided my mother would be worth at least 100 words

A peronal narrative this week.
You knew this was going to be about coffee, it has to be with me

@Lceel, ack! Sorry you missed the blend. Send me the link now and I’ll add you to the list.
@everyone else, I’ll be making the rounds soon. Thanks for keeping the 100 word challenge going.
I hate it when I read what I typed after I’ve posted and find the mistake several days later. I wrote a personal narrative. I have no idea what a peronal narrative would be.
I totally missed the deadline. Even when I was feeling “okay” (for what it is), I still missed it—dang.
Well, I guess then I will be posting Moral and Blend on the same day, and I’ll provide both links then. They aren’t up yet, you can go to my blog and find out why.
I think I should just go to bed, don’t you agree?
I hope I’m doing the right prompt. We are on “Blend” correct?
Here’s my entry for it anyway. Hopefully I’m not all messed up!

I completely forgot to post a link to my 100 words. Doh!
