DREAMS (and a Big Biscuit)

These are the ramblings of a sleepy man. “I had the weirdest dream last night.” How many times have you said that? Sometimes it is the “wildest” or “strangest” or “scariest” or “worst” dream ever. Occasionally, it might be your “best” or “recurring” dream. Do not worry. I am not going to recall all theContinue reading “DREAMS (and a Big Biscuit)”

TARIFFS and TREASURES

DARK IS THE NIGHT…AGAIN

It happened again. This was the worst. The darkness began to press in. Press down. Press all around. It was not the darkness of night. It was that darkness of the soul which battles and baffles us all. Some more than others. My soul cried. I prayed for the darkness to disperse or, at least,Continue reading “DARK IS THE NIGHT…AGAIN”

I HOPE YOU DANCE…AGAIN

I hope you neverContinue reading “I HOPE YOU DANCE…AGAIN”
