Two of my favorite persons called to make sure I was okay because they noticed I hadn't blogged in awhile. I almost claimed "writer's block" until I remembered telling my students that there is no such thing. In actuality, I simply haven't felt inspired. And yes, I know that's no excuse.
Anyway, telling me that you have writer's block is like telling my mom that you can't play piano because you're tone deaf. It just ain't gonna fly. Sorry. There is no such thing as writer's block, just as my mother would say no one is tone deaf.

William "Kaiser" Gaiffe was the chief of police in Bluffton in the 1960s. He was also the cemetery sexton, in charge of the village crew and held several other unofficial village posts, to numerous to mention. This classic photo of a small town police chief was probably taken by Charles Hilty. We welcome "Gaiffe" stories from any viewers.
