February 18, 2018February 18, 2018 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

Sophie's mom knew Melissa's mom and happened to mention the sleepover; one thing led to another and here was creepy Melissa, ruining Sophie's special night.

Making a Man

December 6, 2017December 6, 2017 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

All I knew was how to avoid the worst a man could be, but that still left a lot of opportunity.

The Old Flame

July 2, 2017 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

So my wife and I took our niece out to see Wonder Woman today. It was my wife's second time and our niece's fourth, but I'd never seen it before. It was far too late for there to be any surprises but I don't generally care about spoilers. I just like a story well told. And … Continue reading The Old Flame

A Man of Letters and Papers

May 19, 2017 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

What I need to learn about next are the qualities to writing paper. In high school we hosted an exchange student from southern Germany. I was a junior and he was a senior. We got along, though he was exponentially more socially capable than I was, and classmates would come over to pick him up … Continue reading A Man of Letters and Papers

Nauseous and Alternative

May 12, 2017June 19, 2017 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

In my office, our executive director has been exploring Google Plus as a means to encourage socialization among us, that is, starting a community exclusive to our department. Along with this, my supervisor suggested I might write posts now and then to share tricky grammatical rules, technique and usage, and best practices with my coworkers. … Continue reading Nauseous and Alternative

The Endless and Futile Quest for Bostock

April 15, 2017 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

I bet you're wondering why there's no such thing as bostock. The answer to that is complex, because there are two factors that conspire to lead most people to believe it doesn't exist. One factor is that it's extremely rare, and the other is that it is imperceptible when present. Taking these into consideration, it's … Continue reading The Endless and Futile Quest for Bostock

My First ACES Conference

April 1, 2017 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

[Originally posted on LinkedIn] Last weekend I attended my first ACES conference. But let me back up. When I met the charming, brilliant woman who would consent to being my wife, she had one stipulation: "There is no way I can marry an unlettered man." I was a couple semesters shy of my bachelor's and … Continue reading My First ACES Conference

Busy Elsewhere

March 19, 2017 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

I'm doing lots of writing. I haven't touched my travel journal in about a year, let's say, and I haven't done any writing here that I'd shape up for publication. But I do have another blog where I'm challenging myself to stick to as close to a story-a-day project as I can. Sometimes that means … Continue reading Busy Elsewhere

The Legend of Brummie

August 7, 2016 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

[A long time ago, a friend asked me to write lyrics for his band. I drew this up promptly and as far as I know it was never used.] Brummie, the big fat Dutchman, He strode into town The sun was setting and the sky was dark And there were few of us around Brummie, … Continue reading The Legend of Brummie

Shifting Neighborhoods

July 23, 2016 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

My wife and I just moved ten blocks south of our old place, from the CARAG neighborhood into East Harriet. This doesn't mean much except for a few things: I went from three coffee shops within easy walking distance to zero cafes anywhere. There's one on the corner that opens exactly when I catch the … Continue reading Shifting Neighborhoods
