Nothing.<\/p>\n

\"writers<\/a>The halls of my brain are echoing with emptiness.<\/p>\n

The cupboard’s bare.
\nThe refrigerator’s empty.<\/p>\n

You get the idea.<\/p>\n

I sat around and waited for something to bubble up to the top.<\/p>\n

That usually works.<\/p>\n

Nothing.
\nThe brain’s dead.<\/p>\n

I went through my mental list of things that piss me off.
\nIt’s too long and I got sleepy and needed a nap.<\/p>\n

The wife is always good for some amount of words.
\nThis week – nothing.<\/p>\n

She’s been on her best behavior.
\nIt’s wonderful.<\/p>\n

Even my imaginary friends aren’t talking to me.<\/p>\n

\"Nothing\"<\/a>It happens to us all.<\/p>\n

There are the occasional days when neutral seems to be the gear we’re in.<\/p>\n

Better now than in some meeting when the boss asks for an intelligent answer to something.<\/p>\n

I’m coming up dry so I take a pass on today’s column.<\/p>\n

Maybe tomorrow.
\nMaybe not.<\/p>\n

I need to get more grumpy.
\nThat usually works.<\/p>\n

Somebody give me some grief.<\/p>\n
