  1. Poor @wildone. Keep your head down, Steve.
  2. Stop with the Drewth, Drew.
  3. Hey, Krista! I'm honored you chose one of my stories to read. Westerns aren't for everyone, but it was something I wanted to give a shot ever since I wrote "Finding Refuge", a shorty for an anthology. I was raised on westerns, and I am a dedicated horsemen, so it was a perfect diversion during the pandemic. It's maybe kind of weird to name a story after a dead character, but if you continue you will see the impact he has, even after death. I agree about Will being a hero type name, and as a matter of fact, there is another character in the sequel of that same name. What can I say... I'm a rebel. Coy has watched his entire family die over the years, and the worst one was all he had left. You're right... he is Coy's connection to his mom and dad and brothers and uncle and all those better times, so he buries his head in the sand where Will was/is concerned. We meet Coy when he is at his very worst. He has a lot of growing up to do, something necessary for that time period, but he is a truly interesting character... it just takes some time to see it. Boone has dreams, and he's had them a long time. As much as he cares for Coy, he is seeing a change is badly needed. I hope you hang in there, Krista. These two books are ones I turn to all the time when I want to escape the world for a little while. Thanks for this... cheers... Gary....
  4. Congrats, Val!
  5. 20C today. Hello, everyone.
  6. I agree. I watched the first season and loved it.
  7. Ain't that the Drewth.
  8. COVID-19 is the third-leading cause of death in Canada, but it’s older people who are dying.

  9. Happy Easter Monday, all! Beautiful day here.
  10. Then stop acting like one.
  11. Yeah, I picture him in pigtails too.
  12. Welcome, Justin, and nope, you're not the only one. Sometimes writing is easy, but mostly it takes a lot of effort and commitment. We all experience ups and downs on our writing journeys.
  13. I'm a huge "Walking Dead" fan, so this was quite interesting to me. I hadn't noticed this story at all before, but I will now. Thank you!
  14. She's up now. It took some monumental effort and a few tries, but all is good.
  15. Just got back from a 4K walk, and mare is down. I'm trying to be patient and optimistic. Her body needs rest... but I hope she can get back up. Going back out to watch her.
  16. I envy you spending time with your mum on Easter. Best wishes to you both. I'm heading out for my walk now.
  17. Exactly... with just a hint of spicy seasoning.
  18. Lol. Can you smell the BS too?
  19. Parker writes the kind of poetry I gravitate to. In this collection, he takes us on a journey, and it is a beautiful one. He brings us to another time and place, but one I believe many of us can relate to and get lost in. This is a masterful offering, and I can't recommend it enough... even if you are not a poetry lover. Cheers!
