I attended a class today to learn what to expect when having hip surgery. It was okay information, stuff like what drugs to quit taking, when to arrive on the day, how long to wait before driving after surgery, that type of thing. The nurse was very helpful and patient with all my questions (“Can I ride home in my husband’s Camero?” Answer: No),...

For What Ails You

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on November 28, 2014. Posted in General, LOVE. 6 Comments on For What Ails You

Sometimes when I’m blue and nothing seems to do where I go is Pogo. I scrounge my Pogo books from Burke’s Bookstore. They’re cheap, used as they are. I lie in bed and read about Churchy LaFemme and Howland Owl conniving to drag Pogo into their latest scheme. I laugh. I turn the page. These are not comics popular during my childhood, oh no. Walt...

Cleansing the Soul

Whatever bad luck I’ve been having, I’ve taken care of it. We went to the Island of Salvation Botanica and Magical Pharmacy in the Healing Center and bought cures. First, I figure the spirits have been mad at me because I’ve got all kinds of Day of the Dead creatures CREATURES But what was I lacking? A Spirit Dog! Spirit Dog,...

The Subversive Book

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on October 23, 2014. Posted in General. 6 Comments on The Subversive Book

Last night, I found a dangerous book lurking in the boy’s bedroom. It’s easy for a book to lurk in his room. He has four shelves of books. Plus, he squirrels books away in his bunk bed. And stacks them on the floor. Except for trucks, the boy probably has more books than anything else in his room. And costumes—he lives in New Orleans...
