People used to write in their diaries, and I kept a journal for a number of years, but to me those things are for personal use only. People also used to write letters - a very dying art, which email most certainly does not replace! These thoughts - the ones that go here - are ones I'd like to share with anybody and everybody who'll listen!
Occasionally there will be an especially... spirited?... rant, in a section called "Don't get me started..."
Requests, except those asking me to shut up, will be received with the greatest pleasure. One of my specialties is limericks. Got a special occasion coming up that you'd like a limerick for? You have but to ask!
