The Journey Begins

People say writing is easy. You sit on your ass and write about whatever stupid thing crosses your mind at the time and get paid for it. They laugh at me when I say I’m a writer. “Writing is not a real job”, they say, “find something meaningful to do with your life”. How wrong…

Some thoughts on getting old

I’ve told this story before, but it’s my favorite memory and it still amazes me. It seems that I’ve been confused about life even before I actually started living. As a child I was very skinny, no matter what or how much I would eat, so my mom, and everyone else for that matter, kept…

Another kind of Fairy Tale

I’ve been a Stephen King fan for half my life, although I haven’t read more than, perhaps, 20 of his books. I still have a lot to go until I finish all his 65 (?) published novels, so far. I avoided his fantasy stories and recent books because I felt slightly reluctant to try them….

Jetpack and data collecting

Dear weather, what is the matter with you?!

After spending a lot of time reorganizing the closet for Spring time, it seems that I have to get those Winter clothes out again! It’s been snowing for two days now and I think we’ll celebrate Easter by making snowmen and skiing 🎿. This is just wrong. It usually rains on Easter, but snow? The…
