I've been housebound for about 3 weeks, suffering from Gastro, Severe Vertigo, and Tinnitus. Consequently, I have had to deal with the 3 or 4 telephone calls each day that, according to the person ringing, are not selling anything. Yet, ultimately, they are. What has rattled me today is not that they call me - but they... Continue Reading →

Keeping My Creative Spirit and Grit

One of them is a fog-covered and very wet parcel of land in the corner of a... Continue Reading →
Passing Judgment Online is Never Easy

Yes, the baby is still sitting pretty inside my wife's tummy! Since we chose not to know if our soon-to-be-born baby is going to male or female, here are photographs in the two colours that society deems to be most associated with both genders.

The Intangible Benefit of Giving
In my last post I said I would write a poem each night throughout April. Turns out I write best when the incident or reason is recent and raw.
