I hope you have a beautiful day too, my friend @kemmyb. I was often a square peg in a round hole. School wasn't a good environment for me because I was a little odd, and didn't bend easily. Some of those

I'd love to hear that story--zenith to nadir :) Contradictions indeed...I am quite lazy, can spend a day reading and puttering around. But challenge me, tell me I can't do something, and I'm on fire :)))

You have to be mischievous when you are young...then you can settle down and be sensible when you are older. :)

It seems to me you are making the same sort of home for you children that your parents made for you. A home filled with love. Who wants to run away from that?

I am so sorry, but delighted that things are looking up for you. When one of my friends falls silent suddenly it's concerning. You always were such a great blogger. I'm very happy your mother is getting

Welcome back, @chromiumone. I worried about you. What an amazing photographer. What an amazing friendship (with the ravens!). Hope to see many more posts from you. Thanks for touching base so I didn't

You made me really, really hungry! Everything in that resort was spectacular.. By the time I reached the end of the post I forgot about all the beautiful pictures in the beginning. You're right...the

I began to copy some of the more striking lines, and then I stopped, because there are so many. The poem was meaningful when I read it. Then I listened to @zekepickleman's song. The phrasing highlighted

I'm glad I got it right. I try to 'read' what's there. This story does deserve more :) So many threads. So much potential. I love science fiction and you sure do know how to do science fiction.

Of course you see it all, in your head. Every bit of the world you describe is consistent. We see it all. The descriptions are brilliant. The idea of a synthetic species descended from humans and

What a beautiful, moving piece of writing Thank you, @deirdyweirdy You and I have noted before similarities in our histories. Feeling we don't belong. That certainly rings a bell. In your case, you managed

no shortage of dirty old pick-up trucks here that is built like a tank :))

I love that picture: two happy men. It's a great shot.

Did I mention my cousin is like a brother to me It's a wonderful thing. My son has that with his cousin. They are six months apart in age. Like two peas in a pod. Grew up going to camp together. Played
