And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Shawshank, October 15, 2020October 15, 2020

It’s cold. It’s cold, and I didn’t want to get out of a perfectly heated bed. According to my weather app, from now until the 24th, there’s 3 days that will be above freezing. 3 DAYS THAT WILL BE ABOVE FREEZING. I’m not ready for this type of weather. My jeans are too tight to…

You walk like an angel, talk like an angel

Sometimes I’m a strong man, sometimes cold and scared

Shawshank, October 6, 2020October 7, 2020

So I emailed the local library asking when the next book sale will be they didn’t have a date planned, but they said I could come down and poke through their shed of books. Nothing jumped out at me – a lot of Readers Digest Condensed books, kids books, a couple of James Bond novels,…
