God and I gave up
on each other a long time

So.
So it goes.

Nothing down below but dirt,
I’ve learnt to trust in nothing. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #53 – Nothing”
Happy 4-Year Anniversary… to My Doggo Teddy!
As I sat reading through one chapter of my beta manuscript, with the Saints-Falcons game on in the background, my dog, Teddy, laid next to me. He was curled up in his favorite fleece, huddled against my wife’s side. Snuggling on the couch is his favorite pastime. Continue reading “Happy 4-Year Anniversary… to My Doggo Teddy!”
15 on the 15th: Ohio is for Lovers
Home to the Buckeyes and a notably non-rectangular US state flag. One of a kind, isn’t it?
