A Great Start For a Monday Oh, the days, the long and fruitful days, (when butchered prose gets caught, in my throat sideways)… haha. It is with sub? human effort that the keyboard resounds of clicking and scratching noises. I have to force my fingers across the little plastic pieces that are physically connected toContinue reading “December 28, 2020”

Well friends, that was a Christmas or Channukah or general celebration to remember. For all persuasions, all around the world, we have a little something to remember. The days around this time of year will take on extra significance in each of our private histories. Grandmas and Grandpas will have stories to tell, “Remember thatContinue reading “December 26, 2020”

Aha. Folks are beginning to bother the baby jesus out of me! In righteous, Christmas mood fashion, the arse-holes are out in force! Grrrrr. “Merry f’n Xmas to you!” Okay… so I left it late, as well. I am as Covid jammed in as everyone else. “Who gives you the right to sneak around theContinue reading “December 23, 2020”

I am engrossed with writing a poem and have no idea about where it is heading. It has evolved from ‘Why Am I So Mad at God’ to ‘Am I Mad At God?’ Hmmm. I am enjoying the writing but it is work. I have to approach it like a job, of all things. Ha.Continue reading “December 22, 2020”

December 21, 2020 Oh boy. Those were my Dad’s nearly last words. I don’t remember what else he may have said, it couldn’t be much because immediately afterward, he dropped into a coma and emerged just once, for a brief flutter. The short swim up into consciousness was to express disgust at an embarrassing physicalContinue reading “Famous Last Words”

My writing software just sent me Christmas greetings? I am not sure I like that. I prefer my machines to just shut up and perform a function. I, without a sense of shame, prefer my machines to look pretty and keep out of the conversation but I don’t expect my machines to bring me aContinue reading “December 18, 2020”

My treat-loving squirrel must be resting the last few days. I see no imaginary tiny hats on a furry head, no one scampers across the skinny neighbour’s garage roof. The tree is empty of more than just it’s leaves, with the resident beast not out or about, not resting on the big branches. His/her partContinue reading “December 16, 2020”

This year is closing in on the next year. Days are shorter, most of the birds have gone on to their un-travel-restricted vacation homes. The squirrels are busy as heck, running around and packing the last few calories on before they start taking their intermittent breaks, the little siestas. Hard done by, lawnmowers are silent.Continue reading “December 14, 2020”

I am lately running later and later in the day to get started on work projects. Today is a further expansion of my time at idle. The Covid conditions are affecting me as well as all the rest of us. It will take a long while for folks to understand and recover from this senseContinue reading “December 11, 2020”

Someone else will almost certainly say, “yesterday, December 7, 1941…etcetera”, today. I said it first thing in the morning, even though it won’t be effective until tomorrow morning. I got the jump on it. Actually, I didn’t ‘jump on it’ exactly. I did something more akin to sitting and typing on it. Since I hadContinue reading “December 7, 2020”
