In the velvet darkness of the blackest night

Shawshank, September 20, 2020

Woke up about 5 minutes before my alarm went off this morning. Go up and dressed, timing everything just right, that all I got this morning was a simple good morning from my mom as I was brewing my coffee. I had a pretty good sleep, a little warm, but…

There’s a fire in my heart and you fan it, Janet

There. I feel a little better. I had a panicked though; do I have the Rocky Horror soundtrack? A quick check, and I do. Phew. Shady Acres went down for a nap, I went for a walk. Time Warp – as loud as possible. Doing the dance where no one…

Shawshank, September 18, 2020

I remember doing the Time Warp

Shawshank, September 17, 2020

Good morning! Happy Thursday! It’s almost Pre-Friday! Almost. There. You can do it. It’s bright, sunny, and I assume somewhat chilly out there, because that’s what Canada does. Today is gonna be a long day. Trips to two SlightyBiggerTowns. Each about 2 hours away, but it’s in a rather large…

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...
