Dog Days of Podcasting #15: Cedar Boxes

Dog Days of Podcasting

On April 2, 2000, my dog Cleo was born.

On June 2, 2000, she came to live with us.

In June, 2013, we had to put her down.

This is the story of Miss Cleo, her older dog-brother Zorro, and a pair of Cedar Boxes.

Dog Days of PodCasting #14: Steeping

Dog Days of Podcasting

– Originally recorded on 26 August 2013
– Includes a reading of my cafe vignette, “Steeping,” which was written the day before.
– An excerpt from “Steeping” can be found below:

Excerpt:

I can’t believe you lingered here long enough to let espresso go cold, as busy as it is in here today,” Sarah ventured once they were alone again.

“I was working on a poem,” David confessed.

“I had no idea you were a poet. Are you published? Can I read your stuff?”
“I am, when I’m not wearing bike pants and delivering documents around town,” David answered, taking each of her questions in order. “I’ve published a couple pieces here and there,” he continued. “And as to reading it…the stuff I’m working on right now needs to steep a bit.”

“Poems steep?”

“Just like tea,” David said.

Dog Days of Podcasting #9: Strawberry

Dog Days of Podcasting

– Originally recorded and shared via SoundCloud on 20 August 2013
– Includes a reading of my cafe vignette “Strawberry,” which I wrote in 2007.
– After I recorded this episode, I turned “Strawberry” into a one-shot TNG fanfic with Data. It’s in the same universe as a Data/OFC epic I’ve been working on now and then since 2008.
