They exist out there waiting for us to run into them like unwitting street mimes. Bang, and your level of coping ability falls off to nothing. Today I hit the wall and realized that whatever dedication I feel to work, it’s all subject to the laws of physics running around…

My frightening moments in the toy section

Why should you read this blog?
Great question! Well, there are a few things that people have to say in their lives, and often, those people choose to be writers. Sometimes the words come out better as fiction, sometimes better as stated fact. And some, well, they like to mix it up. Which am I? I…
