15 Days And Counting
When I was 17, there was this weird guy in my art class. He was super tall, with long arms and legs. Cartoonishly block shaped hands and feet. A plaid, flannel shirt (I’m not even kidding, and we are not even old enough for that to have…

As I eluded to in past posts, we have been making moves. Waiting for things to pan out. Figuring this out. Boomba#3 is one of those things. She is doing well, getting bigger every day (at least I hope based on how round I’m getting;) Another thing is B’s job prospects. His last job was…

I used to fancy myself an artist. I would have never been obnoxious enough to call myself one, nor did I ever presume to be particularly good. None the less, I loved art, and did something about it. I lived (I thought I wrote ‘loved’ here. EXACTLY!) to paint, and sketch, and colour, and cut,…
