Random Quote
Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now. And that’s a revelation for some people: to realize that your life is only ever now.

A Bunch of Limericks: Part 5
The last bunch of limericks I have to share is actually the first group that I wrote. The subject (the Mandela Effect) was also the most demanding and the most problematic. First, I wasn’t even sure that it quite fit … Continue reading
A Bunch of Limericks: Part 3
I could have spent my entire limerick-writing weekend on the Kavanaugh hearing. It was such a comedic goldmine but, because of that, I considered it to be a high-competition area, so I worked on just a couple of variations. The … Continue reading

My New Project
I’ve been looking over the limericks that I’ve posted so far. I can see where some of them falter, particularly in the meter department, but they’re cute and with a little editing, I can see them being published in a … Continue reading
Give This Cat a Hat!
It was winter and kitty’s thick fur Was all sheared off because of a bur. Said her owner, “My cat Looks so pretty like that!” But the cat’s only comment was “Brr!”
