I love my job because.......
NO! That is not me. That is just how I feel sometimes. When things get really overwhelming, and I want to get lost in fantasy. Kind of like I am the one out there saving the world. Or I am making a movie, and I am the good bad guy ready to save the world.

Pets, they are great
The kids are grown, have families and pets of their own, and are making their own pet stories. The pets of childhood are a pleasant and distant cherished memory. The photo above is from Unsplash, by a lovely lady, named Krista Mangulsone whom I do not know, but admire her taste in photography.

Mindscape to home
I wanted a simple uncomplicated path to together. We had been apart for many years. A shared life still kept us connected in a forever kind of way.

Fragrant Wildflowers with a dash of Temptation
It is a beautifully glorious sunny summers day. Perfect for a sprightly hike in the countryside. After a really long walk, I finally found a picturesque spot to laze in the sunshine. The English landscape with its flora and fauna has outdone itself today.

WINNING V GAINING
Somewhere along the blurred lines of creating a masterpiece which nets you a winning celebratory purse, and finding the heartfelt words to happily convey them, I seem to flounder. Is it the nagging little bugger on your left shoulder, contradicting the voice of reason sitting on your right shoulder.

The ambiguous nature of the voluptuous pear
There was a story once told of an apple and a serpent and a tree of good and evil. We were all once pure, and good, and clean and untainted by the knowledge of right or wrong.

I tried to hire a hitman
THE TURN OF THE SCREW "Meet me at the Darkside Pub, 7pm sharp." Click. My heart was beating so fast I could hardly breathe, and I started to sweat. "What am I doing, am I crazy." But the anger was burning hot. The hate was such a palpating thing that I could literally reach out and touch it.

For the unfree women around the world
It is very difficult to believe that we all live in the same world, yet we do not have all the same benefits, freedom and rights which should be a universal choice for all mankind. From the dawn of creation we have always been fighting, in one form or the other to just be free, irrespective of where we are, or to whom we were born, Rich or poor.

The Astral Projection Protection Propulsion Device.
They had taken the ASTRAL PROJECTION PROTECTION PROPULSION DEVICE. The APPPV. Who? I have no idea. But it was very important that I get it back. I needed answers, fast. So I went to the TREE.

The Black Hole
There comes a time when fiction blurs with reality, and you begin to question what is real and what is not. The world seems like an endless paradox of surreal self contradictions and irony.

The 'Essential Worker' crisis
Thank you to all the Essential workers who kept the literal and metaphorical fires from burning before, during and after the Pandemic. Your tenacity and courage in the face of adversity is admirable and worthy of the highest praise. Thank you.

Affair? WTF said gently under my breath
Just because I am successful, beautiful and accomplished....AND SINGLE...does not mean I NEED to have an 'Affair'. Although you are 6ft 3inches of perfect sinew and muscle rippling gorgeousness...WITH RESPONSIBILITIES....you need to keep your distance.
