Recently “on The Twitter”, Scott Leslie rightfully chided me because my web page describing the concept for the StoryBox was long — Don’t apologize Scott, I like you because you say it like it is, cause you carry the card. My response was, :”it’s a first draft!” but I had been trying to do something […]
It’s just a Sunday, lazier morning in, longer coffee time at the kitchen table. The phone rang and Mom said, “Happy Father’s Day!” “But Mom, I’m not a father…” “Yes, but you have one.” She says it in present tense, darn she is savvy. If I was thinking of today, I might call it Father-less […]
