Interlude

By nacho Posted on February 21, 2011 Posted in GS 10th Anniversary: 2001-2011 Tagged with GS 10th Anniversary, james, writing

My old college buddy James showed up with a grocery bag full of those little travel bottles of vodka. I was on a forced writing holiday – five days away from my thankless, low-paying day job to focus on the …

The Experiment

By nacho Posted on December 1, 2010 Posted in Project Mondays, Rants Tagged with james, project mondays

James spun by for some post-Thanksgiving down time. I usually saw more of him as the holidays approach as he had a greater number of local family members to avoid. Though, for the last two weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, …

American Musings

By nacho Posted on November 2, 2010 Posted in Project Mondays Tagged with james, project mondays

I think about moving. Leaving DC. Escape. Getting away from the rush, the angry people, the crippled commuters, the twisted women, the broken souls. I weigh my options for relocation. Where do I see myself? If I give myself over …

Two Novels and a Baby (August 19th)

By nacho Posted on August 27, 2010 Posted in Books Tagged with Books, james, two novels and a baby, writing

The challenge: I produce a completed and somewhat serviceable novel by December 15th. The challengers: My old college buddy James and his unborn baby (due on or about the 15th). The rules: I can’t share anything I write, and it …

Two Novels and a Baby (August 7th)

By nacho Posted on August 20, 2010 Posted in Books Tagged with Books, james, two novels and a baby, writing

My old college buddy James had really toned down over the last couple years. He’d gotten himself sober, married a girl named Marcie, and started on a weirdly responsible career ladder.  I hadn’t seen much of him since he announced …

The Tiger’s Path

By nacho Posted on June 23, 2010 Posted in Stories Tagged with archives, james, tigers path

There’s a certain wildman in Bethesda, MD whose iPod keeps shuffling back to Donovan songs. Over the last few back deck sessions at his Palace of Wonders, I’ve found myself thinking again and again about an old story I wrote.  …

44, part eight (conclusion)

By nacho Posted on January 20, 2009 Posted in Lush Tagged with commentary, james, obama, politics, presidency

Nixon was easy.  We could go anywhere, really, but James had been talking about the 600 at Watergate South, which wasn’t really the sort of place where we belonged…but they had a full bar.  We somehow managed to get in …

44, part seven

By nacho Posted on January 17, 2009 Posted in Lush Tagged with commentary, james, obama, politics, presidency

Back to DC.  It was bourbon at the Hotel Washington for Eisenhower.  I don’t know the connection, but I’m sure it seemed logical at the time.  I also couldn’t tell you where we ended up for Truman, but a deep …

44, part six

By nacho Posted on January 16, 2009 Posted in Lush Tagged with commentary, james, obama, politics, presidency

“Thirty.” James said. “Coolidge.” “Notable points?” “None.” “Really?” “Really.”

44, part five

By nacho Posted on January 15, 2009 Posted in Lush Tagged with commentary, james, obama, politics, presidency

Twenty-eight.  Wilson.  The First World War.  We ended up in Silver Spring, Maryland, at the Quarry House.  None of us could remember how that happened, but it did, and so we made the best of it.  Energy was flagging all …
