a private joke, I guess

I have to tell you--

Start a text message, but wait.

It won't make you laugh. 

Family

Wisdom osmosis
your words and love made friendship
become family.


Love, Kerrie

Haiku-a-Day

This is Kerrie.

Scott left us too soon, and I am filled with grief. He wanted me to join him in writing a haiku a day, but I considered haiku writing to be more of an unstructured thing...ironic, I know. Anyway, now I'm going to try to keep Scott's Haiku-a-Day Blog going on his behalf.

The first million or so might be sad haiku. But they will be haiku. And, it's a commitment to write at least a little every day, which I need to do as I try to find my center again.

Where do I stand?

it is a struggle
balancing relationships
on unsteady ground

Indie disappointment

when you're an asshole
admit that you are wrong and
don't do it again

Set it free

it would be healthy
to try to let sunk costs go
but the wound's still raw

Minimum wage vs living wage

if your business plan
cannot support living wages
does it really work?

Freedom trumps the pursuit of knowledge

why does dodging debts
work for planet poisoners
but not for students

Bumbling, Blame and Bankruptcy in Wake of West Virginia Chemical Spill

Take your doom and gloom and shove it

if you think we're doomed
then kindly shut the hell up
some of us have hope

No charted path

stumbling through life
from one thing to another
is not the best way

On writing part 1

the words that you choose
change how people understand
what you are saying

That'll do

waiting for perfect
keeps the task from being done
shoot for good and ship

Pause

take a little time
to figure out one good thing
you can do each day

You know...Pinky did get first billing.

take over the world
Brain tries, is foiled by Pinky
who's really insane?

One game from the Super Bowl

Seattle shows pride
12th man rocks the blue and green
Hawks thunder towards 'Bowl

Going out

walking in the dark
street light and moon light show path
it's all for the dog

Who knew email was so slow?

IP cuts you off
when your payment arrives late off to get coffee

No Oval Office for Christie

small minded man
seeks revenge for presumed slight
receives just deserts

Love it or leave it

grey overcast skies
embrace the beautiful gloom Seattle winter

Snack hierarchy

oat flakes and raisins
late night snack of champions
when you're out of chips
