30 Days of Creativity: Day 13–Recycled

The Adventures of Katnip: 33


“Who are you, and why are you in a recycle bin?” I asked.

“Name’s Cuddle. Cuddle Russell. This is what happens to old Sidekicks. Those glass pieces behind me used to be the windshield of a Honda Accord. Now they’re art. I’m just waiting to see what I’ll be next.”

“Can a Sidekick have a Sidekick?” John Riley asked hopefully.

“No,” I said. “He can have a friend. But I’m warning you guys, if we stumble upon a yellow brick road–”

“Oh, all the best stories are recycled, too,” Cuddle assured me.

30 Days of Creativity: Day 11–Nostalgia

The Adventures of Katnip: 31


“Perhaps we should have taken into account that neither of us has a driver’s license before we started this trip down Memory Lane?”

Today Lynne and Lila took me to lunch at 59 Diner. The staff was gracious enough to remove their pink Cadillac from the display case so I could use my phone to shoot Katnip and John Riley with it. Thanks, 59 Diner, Lynne, and Lila! Speaking of nostalgia, back when the only 59 Diner was at the Shepherd location and we lived in the suburbs, this was where I used to bring Lila’s father Jess–he wasn’t much older than Lila is now–for a treat. It was “our place.”

30 Days of Creativity: Day 8–Clutter

The Adventures of Katnip: 28


“Perhaps all this clutter is indicative of deep inner turmoil,” the doctor suggested.

“This isn’t my clutter,” I said. “All I know is, I found a pearl necklace on the forest floor, put it on, and next thing I know, I wake up here with you.”

“Ach, such dream symbols,” Dr. Freud muttered. Then louder, “Tell me more about this ‘forest.'”

30 Days of Creativity: Day 6–Sticks

The Adventures of Katnip: 26


“Why do you want to build a raft?” John Riley asked.

“Before I met you, I received a message telling me I’m on a quest to find Lil Eddy, whatever that is. I’d intended to look for snow eddies in Narnia, but I ended up in Middle Earth. Then I met a shark. I think I’ll look for river eddies instead.”

“If I get waterlogged, we’re in trouble,” John Riley warned.
