The Quiet Before The Storm in Life And Times

An Appropriately Dark Birthday in The Paper Chase

Laughter In A Time Of Dreamt Intimacy in Life And Times
I dabble in poetry from time to time. I don't do it often and I think, at least for me, I prefer that the poetry that I write rhymes. Because of this need for my words to rhyme, it requires ...

Part V. Band Of Morons - Fannie in The Paper Chase

Part I. Normal Working Hours in The Paper Chase
This could end up being one in a series of entries, because I think that it would be way too much material for a single entry. I spend a lot of my time at work, which has been the case for tw...

Neither Psychic, Nor An Amnesiac in Life And Times
I am an introvert. I never got this kind of credit when I was growing up. As a child, I was labeled as shy. Maybe I was anti-social? I never argued any of that at the time because I didn't k...
That Dreaded Anniversary in Life And Times
As October steadily approaches, I am once again reminded that the anniversary of Mom's untimely passing will also be approaching. 2025 will mark the seventh anniversary of her death. I say unt...
Just Dental Work in Life And Times

No Holiday Cheer in Life And Times

Healthy But With An Asterisk in Life And Times

Time After Time in The Paper Chase
