Oh, my dear hearts and friends… I have been away from blogging a few days again. I haven’t felt cheerful enough to wander over the keyboard with my fat fingers. I haven’t felt like whining aloud. I haven’t felt like anything. I have numbed but uncomfortably. This being true, it is also true that theContinue reading “September 2, 2021”

August 25, 2021 “She’s not a girl, who misses much…” dedelededede..is running through my head. My lovely imaginary friend John Lennon sang that, long ago. It was recorded, then reproduced a thousand million times or more. I must have heard it through an equal number of plays. The song still exists, de facto, the hourContinue reading “Sketch”

Innocence. I made a mistake and left the freezer unplugged. This meant I had to throw a few pounds of food away. I am deeply distressed by my error and the resulting waste of a precious thing. The food was placed in the freezer to save it for a time of need. I am judgingContinue reading “August 21, 2021”

I am of the old school and still believe that a fella follows his penis toward another person. The sniffing occurs, then the courtship and partnering. Doesn’t it? I am at Starbucks, examiningContinue reading “July 27, 2021”

I need the connection to readers and I haven’t been actively persuing an actual career in any other sense, it has been years since I have sent anything off to a publisher or tried writing columns and ‘letters to the Editor’. The value of my lettersContinue reading “July 26, 2021”

July 23, 2021 A new start. Every day is a new start…duh… Yeah, well, this is a thing all creatures know by observation. Some of us know it by experimentation. Some of us know it because we are really good mathemeticians and scientists and astronomers. Some of us know each day is new because weContinue reading

July 2, 2021 The shadow of autumn is in the air today. It is one of the rare days, where season is indeterminate. Here, it is currently delicious. That isn’t true for everyone, everywhere in Canada. The western part of the country is frying under a blister-dome and we relax with cool breeze and angledContinue reading “For The Hell Of It”

More Ghosts It is the last day of June and the sky threatens a thunderstorm, as though to say goodbye to June. Well, goodbye, then. Goodbye June, goodbye, goodbye. I am not ready to say hello to whatever is next. I am stuck here, in the moment, at the kitchen table with my fingers onContinue reading “June 30, 2021”
