It isn’t the rain that signals a change of seasons here. The semi-constant rain cleanses and renews but it doesn’t mark change. Nor does the blinding sun, which seems to come more in the dead of winter. It seems determined to blind us more than to hold back the chill in the air. The seasons … Continue reading the season
tempting? not so much.
And the best spam email subject line of the day? "big penis is very cool" Really? Is that what you think? It's the best email you could come up with to try to bait me to your website? That statement? Sigh. Hire better writers.

entire worlds exist behind each set of eyes as they stare intently or close to contemplate finding tales that will never see the light of day as lives play out inside minds daydream and play pretend imaginary friends that lead the way in tickling spring rain in warm summer grass in crisp fall leaves in … Continue reading worlds

People throughout the world sharing their thoughts through words. … Continue reading history of words…

But... there is always a but... Pickling and canning scare me. It's hot and scalding and scary and you need … Continue reading cheater cheater, pickle eater…
