Read more: Apr 15 – Journal EntryI had to make a run to PetSmart, needed tank filters and frozen mice.

Read more: Stopwatch (CW#27-2015)Prompt: Using a stopwatch, time an everyday event. Hmmmmm. After years of being late for everything, including one of my weddings (that was on purpose. Shhh), I am seriously beginning to contemplate taking my ex-wife’s advice. Yeah that’s right. Ex because she was at least 15 minutes early for everything. Soooooooo annoying. I have my…

Read more: TeachI love to learn. Growing up, my dad would say – “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” I know this isn’t his, but he always had a way of pulling out a quote well suited for the moment. My love of reading came from him. Exploring, questioning and general curiosity was always…
