• Hustle & Bustle

  Since last Wednesday or Thursday I have had a difficult time trying to sit and think about articles. The articles were there, but finding the words was hard. Plus several things happened like bang, bang, bang in a row. Friday was a day of rest though from the events from Thursday. Anyhow my thoughts and…

• Paranoid Part 2

  Thursday. Tendinitis. Nervousness. The March surgery, the initial one on my left arm this year really worked me over. There were two incidents one by complete accident and the other on purpose.
