That’s great, it starts with an earthquake

Shawshank, October 5, 2020

From what the calendar says, it’s Monday, and it’s sunny, and windy out. It’s probably cold. I haven’t opened my weather app, and at this point I’m afraid to. But I have coffee. We’ll see what today brings. I believe my dads taking a half day, so he and my…

But they don’t mean a thing if you’re not with me

Shawshank, October 4, 2020October 4, 2020

So sitting here and thinking about the book club I’d like to start, and Crystal is napping, so I can’t bounce ideas off of her, I decided to plow ahead full speed* and I decided the first book for my Lockup Library Book Club, and that is: The Historian, by…

I see into your window, although you’re far away

Shawshank, October 2, 2020October 5, 2020

Yes, I finally finished my first (I started over again around chapter 2 – I just got discouraged) read through of Ship of Theseus*! Whew! What a really good book. The main story is amazing. It’s a story about S. S wakes up on the banks of a strange city,…

On This Day

  • 1 year ago...
    • And I'm a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line
  • 2 years ago...
    • Two steppin' on the table, she don't need a dancefloor, oh my, good Lord
  • 3 years ago...
    • Leanin to the side but you can't speed through two miles an hour so everybody sees you
  • 4 years ago...
    • And that's where the hornet stung me and I had a feverish dream
  • 5 years ago...
    • Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
