remember me?  anyone?  I remember you and you have been missed! 

I was way out in the country this afternoon, dropping our dog off at the kennel, since we are off to Toronto tonight. The kennel is on this old country road. I have yet to see anyone else on it.

Recently, I have lost my fighting instinct. I have heard it all before and don't want to take the time to hear it again. I won't even let you know I am upset. I have this arrogant attitude that you should have known and if you don't then you obviously don't care so I walk away ( Read more... )

If anything, this writers course is good for my ego ( Read more... )
