From one jolly-bellied man to another… Dear Santa, Hey. I hope you’re doing well. And I apologize for not writing to you for the last 50-odd years, back when I used to scrawl my scribbles on a wide-spaced sheet in my Big Chief tablet, a writing platform […]
“Abandon hope, all ye who enter here…” Upon realizing that I have only posted once this month, way back on the 2nd, I thought it best that I get something out there, lest the few folks who still read my stories actually do abandon hope and never come […]
A bit of peppermint bark… A few things you should be aware of before plunging into this mess… One, hundreds of years ago, I used to do music video reviews. (Don’t laugh, I really did, with a whole website dedicated to such.) I was very invested in this […]
