  • Everything Must Change

    July 15, 2010

    • Yeah, I’m different.  I used to be thinner; much thinner.  I used to be younger – even just a minute ago.  I used to think I’d live forever.  And I used to believe it when The Beatles told me All You Need Is Love.  I’ve changed.

  • I, too, had two cents to

    I, too, had two cents to offer but the damn things were so thick and coppery the staples wouldn't go through them.

  • This reads almost like a

    This reads almost like a eulogy. I'm praying it doesn't turn out to be one. The world sucks.

  • I dunno, but...

  • Rock On, Pamela

    I enjoyed reading this very much, Pamela. I wrote about rock-gathering a while back here at Red Room. I thought you might like to see it.

  • Verbiage

    Weird, the verbs we have these days, eh? Oh, great; she googled me. Apparently she liked what she saw. Now I had no choice. I had to tweet her when I got home and beg her to unfriend me. Oy.
