Storytelling. Fact and fiction. One word at a time.
One of my daily tasks is to promote Counios and Gane on social media. I also have a smartphone that does things like gather up pictures that fit into a category. The phone shows me the photos in what feels like a "look what I did Ma" moment. This morning I saw a nice little... Continue Reading →
Maybe a decade in review... My slow dial to right now It's already February. January flew by. Last year flew by. Awe, hell! The last decade has flown by---sort of.
