I was asked the usual "Where do you see yourself in 5 years" type questions, and then told, "We have quite a few people applying for a limited number of … Continue reading My Worst Job Interview
Photo by Matthias Cooper on Pexels.com I think by the time you reach a certain age, you've had a few close calls with death. The first time I brushed past the Grim Reaper was when I was about seven. It was summer time and my day care center had bused us all to the community … Continue reading The Deep End
Photo by Skyler Ewing on Pexels.com We don't use our front yard very much. We're pretty private, unfriendly people and we prefer our fenced-in backyard where we can be outside and not have to see or talk to anyone. Consequently, the local wildlife prefer the front yard. Last month a robin built her nest under … Continue reading City Wildlife

The last one, in fact, disappointed me so much that after I read the last page, I stood up and chunked it across the room. Before the bibliophiles hunt … Continue reading On Writing: Lousy Finds from an LFL

Photo by cottonbro on Pexels.com It's Friday night and I have had a very productive, very looong week.
