A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
It has been a while since I wrote. Been a while since I even thought of writing, to be honest. In the words of John Lennon, "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans" and it it holds true even now, decades after he said it. I turned a year older recently. Had... Continue Reading →
If you thought that was a pun, guess what? You’re bang on! The gym I occasionally frequent (inching towards an oxymoron here folks) has mirrors all along one side of a wall and that really helps while you’re checking out your form or lack thereof. It frequently helps me bemoan the state my body’s in... Continue Reading →
