The Side Window
For those who are fans of the Hitchcockian thriller, this isn't an attempt to ride on the coattails of it. But I was hard-pressed for creativity and my brain doesn't function well without caffeine so an "inspiration" is what I'm working with since there are some similarities between me in my current predicament and Jimmy … Continue reading The Side Window
The Child: Lockdown Version

But it was too funny for me pass up posting it and since things are in a better state than they were a year ago, with the pandemic and its fallout, this post … Continue reading The Child: Lockdown Version

And for a largely positive person (outlook in life-wise and … Continue reading The Tale Of Five Tests
2020…what’s next?
The easiest answer would be 2021...DUH! But it's become way more than that. The last time there was a brouhaha over a year or its ending was Y2K but that turned out to be a damp squib in comparison. Heads up! This is an image-heavy post... While 2019 ended on an interesting note- first international … Continue reading 2020…what’s next?
Savoring Sundays And The Days Ahead
. Been a while that I wrote anything. I was greedily reading the last installment in The Trials of Apollo.
