Up The Weary Web Wazoo
Thanks, I Think Hi everyone I’ve been getting some feedback about how infrequent my posts have been this year. To those of you who took the time to email me and bitch, I’ll take your complaints as a compliment and use them as incentive to write more often. Who am I kidding? In the eight…
Read MoreMy Birthday
Two days ago, I celebrated (tolerated) turning sixty-nine years old. The Seeds of Narcissism The earliest birthday I can remember was my fourth. There was a party with kids from my block and of course, they brought presents. After I opened them, I took the gifts and myself into the den and shut the door. My…

In Canada and other nations situated far enough north to have at least three months of winter-like conditions, spring hopes eternal by mid-March. In Toronto, Canada’s largest city, there are hints of better times coming.

Read MoreA Day Of Love
Here we go. A post about nothing. Well, not exactly nothing. With St. Valentine’s day here I’ve decided to have a thoughtful look at the day of love. My ex had no use for “Hallmark Holidays”. Same with my girlfriend, Kim. Fine with me. Even if they did think those occasions were a big deal I’d…

And finally, the conclusion of Loch Morrison As shattered as my ego was and as jumpy as my nerves were, I was getting a little peckish. I headed to the kitchen to see what was left over from dinner. I already knew the main fridge had died but that a small portable one had been…
