Everyone in the room braced themselves, gave me a certain look, maybe expecting me to … Continue reading Universe University Series, More or Less
When I was a little boy my mother told me that it was bad luck to kill a spider inside the house. Five years ago I was bitten by a Brown Recluse while I was sleeping in my bed. I no longer allow spiders to live inside my house, except for Daddy Long Legs of … Continue reading Spiders
Since I left off with Part 3, I've been mostly working for the last week, from sunrise to sunset. I started a new job four weeks ago, it's perfect for this stage of my life.
