Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Broken and bent, that’s what I always say. Actually, I tend to say: “…rules are rules. Until you can change them, follow them.” But, that’s the boring day-to-day me talking, not the rule-breaking-damn-the-torpedoes me who wishes he did radical things.

Add a picture, if you’d like. If... Continue Reading →
Being sick during the work-a-day portion of this new year, I hadn’t yet been able visit Great River Park. I wanted to stop on my way to work yesterday, but I wasn’t sure it was a good idea. We had received a small amount of snow overnight. Such an insignificant amount of snow wouldn’t normally... Continue Reading →
Linda G. Hill is plastering two prompts with the same stone today. In addition to the regular Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt, she’s taking aim at Just-Jot-January, as well.
