Road Warrior is Off to the Bus

I’m leaving soon for Newmarket for the weekend. Not feeling eager for the busing part of it. Carrying luggage around on the bus, subway and then another bus and then a longish walk to where I hope my sister will be at her place of work. Hopefully I won’t be waiting there ages.

Indie Bloggers Challenge #5

Indie Bloggers 300 words regarding:

To be mean, you shave your neighbor’s monkey. It gets a cold and dies. You get arrested for animal abuse and go to prison for three years. On your first day in jail, as you walk into general assembly, the crowd goes completely silent. They part like a wave revealing a shrunken old man who radiates a merciless, palpable evil.

Air in the Wrong Places

I can feel the back of my neck, it has air on it. There shouldn’t be air on it. Well, not enough to be noticeable. But there is it, all light and airy and just a bit cold on the back of my neck and down the curve of my back. Hair should be there.

The Water Theme for Photo Hunters




I don’t know if I will stick with one of these for the weekly challenge. But I liked the water worn brick in the road. How many thousands of people pass by it walking or driving and never notice it at all. Funny too, why are some bricks in good shape and some nearly worn through.

Hair, But No Clouds in My Coffee

Blogging is a full time job. I don’t run ads on my blog so it’s not like I’m spamming my way to fortune (snicker) but I do seem to spend a long part of my evening (and day) here doing nothing. Nothing much that anyone would notice. Tonight I’ve been on Flickr for at least an hour, easily.… Read the rest

Get it on Paper

“To overcome writer’s block, get something – anything – down on paper. Don’t wait for perfection to issue forth. Since the key to good lawyerly writing is re-writng, give yourself something to edit.”
