Just a guy and a guitar - Greg Gelpi
Walking on to stage and hitting that first chord on his guitar, the packed house immediately silenced.
Encountering the counter - Michael Davis
They divide their forces. Both with arms-full of cereal, fruit, various beverages and toiletries. The one in cargo pants and thong sandals sidesteps to her right, craning her neck over a middle-aged man with a basket half-filled with goat cheese – the other half with tofu.
The skin of my teeth - Rob Felt
It's been nearly an hour of this. My mouth is half open, very dry and laced with a tangy medicinal flavor. Glancing at my watch every 30 seconds doesn't seem to be making the time go any faster, but at this point it's the only form of entertainment I can focus on.

Baseball hits a feverish pitch - Gerry Yandel

Is America on the rise or on the decline? - Bob Paslay
Pardon me while I play Socrates. By that I mean, I am wondering something but I truly don't know the answer. So I will be questioning and out of that questioning may come some enlightenment.
