- My mother, Nancy, "Mama", battled valiantly with colorectal cancer from 2016 to 2022. I could not bring myself to write an obituary, just a poem. She was the most amazing woman I've ever known, and there just isn't a lot you can say, you just stand in wordless wonder.

Blogging again
For the past few years I have not been consistently blogging. I have been at a transition phase. The whole "self performing for audience" thing had become a chore and was more fun via facebook where you had instant feedback ( Read more... ) -

Hmmm. I haven't followed through on my intent to do something with this blog, and in fact it appears I've left it alone for about four months. I'm a bit torn on what I am really going to do with it.

Happy Easter

You can try really hard to be a friend to someone, but if they never acknowledge the real you and you spend more time correcting them about misunderstandings than communicating new stuff, there comes a point where you have to phase that friendship out for your mutual sanity.
