Life One’s got the matches, one’s got the lashes one’s running her mouth again Shawshank, March 5, 2026 Up early. But change of plans for the day. My grandmother is very very sick, so I’ll be escorting my dad to YetAnotherBigTown today. It’s about 5 hours away.

I’m not even mad anymore. It’s simply a way of life now. So we’re up, and everything is picked up. I’ll pack away the clock once I start getting the laundry ready. It’ll go in the closet next… Continue Reading
