Right now I'm listening to soothing jazz and watching comedies (in the background). Have to be positive with all that is going on. An upbeat story is always welcome :)

Thank you, @carolkean. Yes, she is trapped. Hard to blame her, even, because her lack of insight is paralyzing. Hurts her, hurts the students, hurts Sam. Thank you for assessing my writing skills positively.

Hey Raj, Your skill on display. I could listen to this ten times, pick up the cadence and perhaps myself rhyme. You see it's contagious :) I hope you feel better. So hard to produce when you're fighting

Thank you, @georgeboya! Your generosity is inspiring. I don't know how you choose among so many wonderful pieces, but I'm glad you found my work has merit. I love the company I'm in. Each collage calls

I'm looking forward to reading this later on my iPad as I get ready to sleep. That's my time for quiet reading. This looks like such a thorough, insightful analysis of one of my favorite authors. Thank

I can imagine the cat kibble bill :)) I just love this post. The cats are wonderful. Little Bepina precious. Good way to handle a pandemic: hang with family and chill out :)

Hi, I've a poor understanding of crypto and a bad sense of money. However, I think this may be as much about personalities and power as it is about finance. Your points are excellent. I won't go through

Thank you, my friend. You could never be late with such a lovely comment. Aren't collages fun? They open up a new perspective on what we know. It doesn't matter if we are skilled or not: the act of creating

Hi, @josemalavem, My first comment. Very exciting! I value your critique highly. Thank you. When I first visualized this character, she was not complex. She was vain and selfish. But then, in writing the

I like this post much better than your previous one :)) Here, I love the trees in the fourth picture. They're even more interesting than the fungi. Looks like they're bending and struggling to find the
