Mostly I just wanted to write something funny and light, and writing an idealized version of a retirement home fit perfectly. I'm just about done with the second book in the series, and it's been just as fun the second time around. Thanks for the interest.(less)

A Gerund? No Thanks, I've Already Eaten

Porter Elementary wasn't a school for ambitious kids. At the end of fourth grade, if you could tie your shoelaces in under eight minutes, you received a poster-sized gold star to hang up on your bedroom wall.

And then it was on to fifth grade, which, if I remember correctly, consisted of either eating paste or sharpening pencils, depending on what teacher you got.

Quotes by Kirt J. Boyd  (?)

“Hold your dreams tight, my friend. Share them with no one. And when the naysayers and the scoffers of the world aren't paying attention, spring it on them fully formed and laugh and dance while they grasp desperately for a hand-hold with which to drag you down.”
Kirt J. Boyd, The Last Stop

“Now, my intention was to drink just enough to dull the senses, but intentions should never be mixed with alcohol.”
Kirt J. Boyd, The Last Stop

“And there it is! Bravo! I knew it was only a matter of time before Byron realized he had an audience. That man is simply incapable of keeping his shirt on when there are spectators. One Christmas Eve, he stripped his shirt off right in the middle of the choir's rendition of Oh Child of Bethlehem. Coincidentally, the next song was Come Let Us Adore Him and the imbecile actually launched into some interpretive dance.”
Kirt J. Boyd, The Last Stop
