“This could be true” by Keith Manos

This could be true  “Every true story ends in death.” [Ernest Hemingway] My dad was different. As a kid, I’d been in my friends’ homes. I’d talked to their moms and dads. Their dads wore polo shirts and shorts and baseball caps. They vacationed in places that had boats. They always came back with t-shirts wi...

“This could be true” by Keith Manos

This could be true  [a short story by Keith Manos]             I figured Angela would be at our high school reunion because she was one of the popular girls twenty years ago at Gahanna High School. Of course, she would show up.             Me? I wasn’t popular. I wasn’t anything. Twenty y...

“ . . . can you play me a memory? I’m not really sure how it goes, but it’s sad and it’s sweet, and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man’s clothes” [Billy Joel]   Regarding Sue, his mindless sister-in-law, Jim decided to confront her later.              Of course, when she visited again.               W...

“Shopping Curriculum” by Keith Manos

Teaching rule #1:  Formulate the curricular objective. That’s a fancy academic expression that simply means to create a goal.
