A New Year and then some

Crunch Time, Pt. 2/3

Why is it, at the times in my life when I most need a computer, mine fails? Junior year in high school: my term paper is due in two days and my disc drive burns out, thereby preventing me from … Continue reading

Crunch Time, Pt. 1/3

I went to the public library for a while today. Nothing gets me writing like going to the library. It’s not being surrounded by books, nice though that is. It’s not the refreshing change in location. It’s not the peace … Continue reading

Holidays strike again

It was not my intention to stay out past midnight. But my sister and brother-in-law are in town and we hardly ever get to see them. So we went out to dinner and lingered until quite late. So I’m checking … Continue reading
