Btw, Imperial has gone cheap for the past several months since they switched from foil-covered paper wrapping their individu...

Fall
How fast the summer time.
How slow the winter.
The north wind whispers,
The sun hastens across the sky
Gone, the laughter in the park,
The brash blush of rose’s bloom
Silent shadows slowly creep across the room.

My best thinking is past me by 1:00 pm or lunchtime, whichever comes.
I came into the office about 8-ish as focused on writing the book review for my favorite news weekly as if I were riding a rail. It took more effort than I anticipated, but by noon:thir...

Slogging through the haze . . . . My original title for this entry was HHHRUUMPH! Then I decided it should be more positive and I rewrote it. I feel like a target of some kind three days into the week without substitute teaching, not attending to the web...

I’ve waited until the PBS series concluded, for reasons akin to why you don’t rate the close encounter of the best kind with your bed partner until you’re enjoying the cigarette. I was captured by the first episode and watched every one....
