This is a purely esoteric post. It's simply a list of stories I've bugun over the years while I was working, in school, and raising a family. During the gaps of those ventures, I wrote, mostly poetry. I've always had a bent to express myself with words. Poetry was fun and a way to meet like-minded people. I received some success at it.
What I really wanted was to tell stories. I began a number of them, a few even snuck out in the days of SASE, then PDF's. For the most part, they were lost during moves,

NOTE FOR JIJI
It's random, but I average about hours a day (about 73 words).
I still do poetry. I just haven't finished much. You will discover the most recent in blog 'Dismissive Remarks', or close by.
There are also hundreds of forgotten leads I've dropped into 12 labeled Evernote files.
My Bogger blogs are falling into disarray. It won't bother me if you abandon your plans for that. All my life, I've tried to keep things in order, but I'm too impulsive and spontaneous. I imagine that if ever I die that I'll have to stay around because I'm not finished.
I suspect that you are like my brother, hyper-organized. Still puts labels on everything- Blender, Toaster, Socks (drawer).
feel better, kidd.
