But maybe I shouldn’t have said that? — My wife is very creative with food. Recently, she went a bit over the top. She started with a Doctor Praeger Mushroom Risotto fake-burger. This concoction already has brown rice, mushrooms, oat bran, peas, carrots, onions, and spinach in it, but she wanted more. If I remember correctly, she started…

Just waiting for the end of time — The book I am reading I just finished Klara and The Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. Sweet tale, well done, quick read. Almost a children’s book, but not. The book I am writing Nope. Never going to do that again! Too much work! I’m happiest when Walking outside. This gets under my skin MAGA Republicans.

It’s time — I have changed my mind about Medium Publications. For most of my time here, I would not submit to publications or allow people to submit to mine. That’s all changed. I’m now accepting submissions. I’ll help you make your story the best that I can. I am fussy. Sometimes we…

But also a hobby for even the poorest of us — Years back, thousands of years back, the only coin collectors likely were royalty and other wealthy people.
