  1. hope you all had a nice day ... off to bed soon.. hopefully i can return to work tomorrow... night all
  2. Well, i wrote one of them, but i've read the other 3 and they are each of them brilliant and different and all should be read or discussed. Purpose- is an amazing story, what an idea! And so very well written. It felt very original and it was compelling. Gar is a fascinating character. Z is for Zombies - is not your usual zombie story and the first paragraphs were brilliantly written and captured me. After that there was no choice but to read the whole thing. It was so very good. Shepherd's Crook - is good. It takes a while to warm up, I thought but the build up was necessary. I did sort of figure it out but it's a worthwhile read. I like the CSR blog. I don't always like the story chosen, but someone will. And you may introduce me to an author i've not had the opportunity to read and that's always a good thing. The length doesn't bother me but if its long chapters are important. If a chapter is over say 5,000 to 7,000 words, it's unlikely i'll read it. I don't have time ... chapters help me come back to the story and finish. Picking one ... i really don't want to but ... i would love to know more about Purpose. Where did this idea come from is my most burning question.

    I read, taught myself ... but not much about our history. It's not so easy to find in the salvation army thrift store. Most of what i learned i learned here ... from AC Benus, who is a collector of our history, a researcher ... it's there if people bother to read it.

    I chuckled at Jeremy's 'he has his whole life ahead of him' like he himself is 52 not 22. I guess he doesn't get he has his whole life ahead of him, too. Nice for Clay and Greg.. doesnt seem fast.. friends first, then lovers... seize the day. nice chapter

    Miracle

    Right? It can be finished ... really soon. Where i work is very close to the end of this huge project ... it's 19km long but extensions are planned. The yellow snapdragon was a surprise. i wrote that poem first ... and wondered what to do with it...a conversation with AC solved that. Thanks for reading and your comments.. i am glad i am not alone!!
  9. we cant have them .. any kind of wipes .. i think we can use the hand stuff. They have sniffer dogs in for routine checks for fun things like bed bugs ... and the wipes mess up their sniffers we've been told. thanks.. hopefully it will go soon.. doing all the stuff.. gargling.. naps and tea ... have a nice Sunday.
  10. i didn't touch this person.. and she didn't touch me or my keyboard ... or it could have been from the bus as well....
  11. is it? i haven't really looked out yet.. other than to see it is gloomy yet again...

    Miracle

    Yeah, i miss seeing him, but i'm glad we go to! After walking around down there and knowing what the street cleaning is like in winter here at the best of times, i won't be going this way to work when it snows. I have a better chance the other way. Thanks for your comments, molly!!! xoxo

    Miracle

    Yeah, it is awful for everyone ...tracks are laid in the intersections finally, so those are open again. Thankfully. I hope you're right and it was the right thing to do for the city, building this thing... Thanks for your comments, Sir xoxo

    Thanks very much, AC. Thanks for the suggestion i write another. As you know writing stories is fun, but a lot of work and time....then there is editing and all that goes into that more months. I'm not complaining, only i found myself missing poetry. If felt good to write this. Thanks to you and the snapdragon... xoxo

    I remember you mentioning that ride along Eglinton near Birchmount. Union Station!! Egad! That is a mess ... trying to find your way around in there is nearly impossible. That's why they have reps standing around to point you in the right-ish direction. It's nuts down there. Thanks for reading and your comments... yeah they are hardy little souls... xoxo

    Thanks, Parker. I like this route because the bus stop very close to home ... but we are moving offices in February I believe it is. And if i change my route, the stop i need is right outside of that new building, both going and coming. The walk where i get off for home isn't far and it's pretty nice usually. Thanks for your comments xoxo

    Thank you. i say that with all sincerity. Your comments here mean a lot. I am glad the ending worked, it was important to me to get that right. Thanks again, my friend.
  20. It was May 2018 when I wrote a Haibun about construction around where I work. It hasn’t improved. For a long while it was much worse. It’s hard to imagine that it will be better when it’s finished. We’ve had over a year with no shelters from the winds, rain and soon, snow. All this construction is for us Commuters who travel around by bus We await a new citywide light-rail line I hope that I live long enough ~ Sidewalks are a patchwork of old

    Thanks, dugh. i have a few things to do before thinking about writing more about Stravor and Keter ... but i would like to write more about them. You know, i don't fear my earlier work.. because without it, i would not be here. Many authors say how poor they were and they should update that work. Myself, yes I cringe when i read that earlier work, but i also know it was the best i could do at that time. Practice makes us better. Each thing i write teaches me that. So, my earlier work is part of my history as a writer, i'm not going to rewrite it because i have nothing to be ashamed of or to fear. Thanks for reading this. i greatly appreciate your support ... since i first joined GA. xoxo
