I haven’t thought about him in years—an outrageous character—who roomed with Vincent Mak in “A” School. Mak would become one of my closest friends on the Vinson. Then there’s Oliver Minnall, Mark Howard, Lloyd Colgin, all ghosts from my past. Names with nothing else attached to them. How insane is that? I spent over a year with these guys, hanging out every day. We watched the towers fall together in real time on 9/11, and now all I retain is a faint recollection of their names. Some, not even that much: the hulking MM mechanic with the square, bald head, who I shared a bathroom with, who I was slightly terrified of, who drove me to downtown Charleston one night to party, where we got completely hammered on $5 Long Island Iced Teas, and on the way home I thought I was certainly going to piss myself, and he got into the bathroom first, and Minnall [my roommate] was playing Dreamcast—or whatever game system was en vogue at the time—at 2 in the morning. Or the 1980s movie marathon that I held in our room one weekend, people popping in and out at all times of the day. Jesus. It was another lifetime. Playing sand volleyball on a Sunday afternoon, going to the beach when I was in Prototype—which beach? I know it had a name—drunk on Smirnoff Ice and boogie boarding, and the strap of the thing getting caught between my thighs somehow as a fucking riptide pulled me out to sea, towards the pier. I surely thought I would die that day. Or the other time at the beach, covering myself in Coppertone Classic—essentially COOKING OIL—and falling asleep in the sun, getting burned so badly that my entire forehead erupted into a billion blisters and I looked like Freddy Krueger for two weeks. Or that blonde instructor at Prototype [Timothy Croak, RIP 8/29/2024] who was so goddamn cocky and hated everything and all of us and was the meanest 2nd Class Petty Officer I ever met in the six years I served. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67328288845b3d09ad1d4e0c/74df36e4-1208-4f45-8b3d-7bca5f161278/_1160771.jpeg WORDS - On this day: 12/7/2015 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.shimmeringcinnamon.com/words/blue-collar-fugue monthly 0.5 2025-01-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67328288845b3d09ad1d4e0c/5c3f353a-c152-4934-b510-513651dfa70f/Screenshot+2025-01-18+at+7.41.28+AM.png WORDS - Blue-Collar Fugue - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.shimmeringcinnamon.com/words/publications-and-honors monthly 0.5 2024-12-07 https://www.shimmeringcinnamon.com/words/lj86qg9rvf4rg09pebs7h8u08eteok monthly 0.5 2024-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67328288845b3d09ad1d4e0c/b622ef13-1bd5-4c46-9920-898df220e036/_1160734.jpeg WORDS - November 2024 Recap!

You got the safety on now?” He leans over the shifter and checks my gun before finishing his sentence. He smells like rifle oil and Irish Spring. “Good man.” His right hand floats from my rifle to the radio’s volume knob, turning the AM golden oldies station to a low murmur. His hand lands on his thermos. Steam escapes from the opened lid as Dad takes a sip of the Motel 6 Folgers. His chin is freshly shaved, but a thick salt-and-pepper mustache is perched under his handsome nose. It’s opening weekend of deer season, and our assigned hunting unit is the highly coveted 4A, a forty-five-minute drive from our motel room in Dickinson. Bordered by Killdeer, Watford City, Grassy Butte, and the Fort Berthold Reservation, 4A is eight hundred square miles of western North Dakota badlands. The unit is cut in half by the Little Missouri, the river that carved these low canyons out of limestone around 600,000 years ago, the end of the last Ice Age and the heyday of Neanderthals. Viewed from 30,000 feet, the dried canyonlands resemble flattened millipedes, whose legs are forested gullies, perfect terrain for Mule deer to find shelter. In these days before Garmin or Google Maps, I am Dad’s navigator, sitting in the passenger seat, with a worn topographical map of North Dakota flat across my lap. Not that Dad needs it to get around his home state. As Team Leader at the Vet Center in Minot, part of his job is driving around the western part of North Dakota to make house calls to the Vietnam and Gulf War veterans that he counsels. Even on these unmarked scoria-covered county roads, which all look the same, he’s got a sense of direction that confounds me.
