If my sis, Sharyl, were currently connected to the internet in her state of post-move, she would probably fill a page or so lamenting on the state of her first weekend in the city. As such, she doesn’t and probably won’t. So, needless-to-say, when I get a phone call just moments before I’m [...]
My pen, the green one, ran dry this afternoon so I’m a little bit frustrated. Not that you would think something so trivial should be frustrating. But there is somehting about not being able to use a pen that has a visibly two-thirds full ink idicator, yet will not submit to my scribblings.

I’m step-casting tonight, simply, only, completely basically because the air becons me to be outside, but I lack the post-party motivation to go further than my front step.

And I wanted to write something of consequence…

I think sometimes we fool ourselves into feeling more stability that we really have. Sometimes we need more [...]
Define. Do you think this is pretentious? Try, for a brief and fleeting moment, to grasp the world from the point of view of immortality, plussed in the knowledge that every second does not count for more or less than any other. Perhaps the hours will not wear away the past of something you [...]
My calendar says, “one doesn’t discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore.” It’s one of those spoof-able freebies that were handed out in stacks to our………..cavorting through the countryside driving to the remotest regions of the province to……bits and pieces of obligatory……that new paper outside Tim Horton’s where I also happened [...]
