  Memoirs

  My grandmother has been working on her memoirs for a few years now, and I’m hopeful she will get a great deal of it done before she passes so that I will always have a piece of her to hold on to. There are so many stories of her youth…

  The Best Best

  Jay Best, an ex-co-worker of mine from the County of Bruce, pinged me on Facebook last night. From time to time he and I chat on there about what’s new, and it reminds me of the times I enjoyed at the County. When he first got there, I was less…

  Writing Every Day is Difficult

  I had intended on writing a page of creative writing each day, but that is turning out to be harder than I thought, and trying to keep a tally of how many I need to write to make up for days I’ve missed is just causing me stress. The goal…

  Dissecting Tech – Page 16

  Dropping down close to the planet’s surface, Mars became a three dimensional world with canyons and mountains strewn across its landscape.

  Locked Out of My Apartment

  So, I’ve been living in Georgetown for over a month now, and I’ve never needed to unlock the exterior door. It remained unlocked the entire time, and so I never needed to test that key. Unfortunately, for the first time last night, it was locked upon returning home, and I…

  Week Without Caffeine

  So, I went a little crazy for a month when it comes to drinking Coca-cola, and so I recently cut myself off cold-turkey until I feel a bit more normal. At first, I was drinking one to wake up each day, and then after a week or two, it was…

  A chirp finally broke the silence, and Alexander turned the communications system on. “Beam me up ship.” Chris’ voice echoed slight.
