I wasn’t planning to but I made a start and got on a roll … the end result was a contribution to JJ’s Flash Fiction Friday #23, over at Purgatorian.
It’s posted on another one my blogs as After we went to bed.

What constitutes a life? Well, I sure as hell don’t know. Maybe that’s not the right question. Maybe the question should be, how do we choose to perceive our lives?
There are certainly lives that are shitty. And there are definitely lives that are grand. The odd thing is, though, the people living those lives don’t […]

If life were perfect, what would that be like?
If I were to go to bed and find my bedfellow was Eva Longoria, and she didn’t snore or do leg kicks in her sleep, didn’t have cold feet and fornicated on command like a wildcat rather than lie there like a dead fish as so often […]

It’s election day in Canada, a topic I’ve avoided discussing in any of my blogs because, as a general rule, I find most online political ramblings to lack anything even remotely approaching objectivity. They’re usually just rants.

I done got tagged by Little Man in a Toque. He’s a guy from England who has found himself here in Alberta and is trying to make sense of it all. I particularly like this meme because it involves three things I love - Canada, books and movies. So, as this seems to be meme […]

I felt the need to make my own meme. “But what could I do,” I wondered. It occured to me that many memes are exercises in honesty. They are ways to tell the world, and maybe yourself, who you are. But being male, honest is the last thing I want to be. So what could […]
