One For The Ageless, Jerry Zezima Jul 2020

One For The Ageless, Jerry Zezima

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

Age, goes an old (of course) saying, is just a number. As a geezer who flunked math in school and now has the checkbook to prove it, I believe this adage for a number of reasons. I'm not sure how many because I am, you know, bad at math.


Team Teachers — Soul Sisters, Vicki Austin Jul 2020

Team Teachers — Soul Sisters, Vicki Austin

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

I pulled my emergency backpack closer as the bus swerved from side to side. A half-eaten Hershey bar, a handful of Band Aids, two-thirds of a bottle of hand sanitizer, five packets of Oreos and one broken pencil completed the inventory. My straining eyes pressed against the rain-spattered window, seeking a place to evacuate all 16 second graders and their parents to shelter. Five packets of Oreos multiplied by the four Oreos in each packet equaled 20 Oreos. Divide those by 16 kids and you get you get well, what you get is a riot.

My dad was adept at social distancing before it was necessary or cool. An expert at evading not only strangers but also close friends, everyone could learn a thing or two from him in the time of coronavirus.

Who Gave Oldies Phones?, Julie Grenness

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

"Oh, no!" I thought to myself, in despair. My smart phone was not acting so smart. In a COVID lockdown world, I headed off to the nearest phone shop in the large shopping centre not far away. Entering this temple of Mammon, with a mask, I approached the hovering group of phone-tech savvy assistants, right on opening time.


I Wrote My Own Obituary, Meghan Riney Jul 2020

I Wrote My Own Obituary, Meghan Riney

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

I spend 23 hours a day thinking about my weight. Ok, that's a bit extreme … there is sleep, so let's just say 16 hours. I spend 16 hours each day thinking about my weight … or at least it feels that way. The other day - must have been hour 17 - I began to think about this: Why do I still carry with me these adolescent obsessions?


I Miss You, Cashier Lady, Jennifer Cramer-Miller Jul 2020

I Miss You, Cashier Lady, Jennifer Cramer-Miller

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

Oh, February. How I long for your simple joys. A bouncy haircut. A free wheeling prescription pickup. But most of all, I miss carefree, pre-pandemic grocery shopping. All those glorious outings on a whim. Tuesday, you say? Well, then… tacos! And off I'd go. The memory is vivid. Before "high-risk" and "stay safe" held me back, I sauntered amongst the whole foods and contemplated my romaine options like a lifelong commitment.

Cuckoo In My Casa, Jan Marshall

I have alwaysbeen a sucker for an English accent. Welsh, too. Michael Caine was my pretend love for years. Now in isolation my fantasies have become strange, more weird than usual, some would say troubling.

The Great Fort Knox Breach Of 2020, Cyn Epler

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

Jog bras are the undisputed Fort Knox for ta-tas worldwide. Women, particularly those athletic types, know the value of such impenetrable security. And that's why I completely melted down when my boobs broke free from my periwinkle, swoosh-emblazoned, XL exercise brassiere in the Great Fort Knox Boob Breach of 2020.

As a longtime practitioner of animal husbandry, which makes me a husband who has had a lot of animals, I love all of God's creatures, except certain creepy insects and other lower life forms, some of whom I have voted for.

Choosing The Purr-Fect Candidate, Allia Zobel Nolan

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

When it comes to legislators, TV and social media try to influence us. And of course, there's fake news. Still, if we are dead serious about making an informed decision, there is really only one reliable source, an authority who has been around since the advent of dirt - that four-legged know-it-all: the cat.


Float, Rachel Hellmann Jul 2020

Float, Rachel Hellmann

Materials from the University of Dayton Magazine Website

Painting on paper, aluminum and wood, I create objects that blur the distinction between painting, sculpture and installation. I am influenced by simple structures such as paper airplanes and origami — objects light in physical weight yet commanding and shaping the space they occupy. I paint the sculptures with hardedge, saturated shapes of color. The color in combination with cast shadows creates a playful conversation between real and illusionistic space.
