This year I am writing a novel. As I write I still have two separate storylines warring for my thoughts.

So, they remain at war; both ideas wanting… Continue reading Warring Worlds

Into the pages

All my life I’ve escaped into books. The words on the page calling out with the promise of great adventures, mysteries, revealed secrets, heroes, villains and creatures beyond imagination.

It must be a conspiracy, the pair of them conspiring to humour themselves and tease mom in the process. Anyway, here a few of… Continue reading A – Z Blogging Challenge, Raising Boys: The Penis Chronicles presents the Letter S for Strange Games

A – Z Blogging Challenge, Raising Boys: The Penis Chronicles presents the Letter O for Occupation

The progression of career choices starts young. Somewhere around three my older boy started trying to decide his adult career. This first decision making period named him as future fireman, and sometimes a policeman. Another day I found him in deep thought about these career choices as well as alternatives for these choices. He turned… Continue reading A – Z Blogging Challenge, Raising Boys: The Penis Chronicles presents the Letter O for Occupation
