A Note About This Blog

I used to be a writer. Unpublished, but a writer just the same. I have several 100,000 word novels sitting on my hard drive. Then I fell off a horse and got a concussion that scrambled my brains really good (yes, I was wearing a helmet.) After that forming a written sentence was very difficult for quite some time. It's still difficult, but at least now generally the sentence structure isn't egregiously flawed. Verbally and written wrong words pop in, I switch words around, and sometimes I make no sense at all. It isn't because I don't have knowledge of grammar and punctuation, but my brain simply can't do it sometimes. Reading this blog you're accepting that there's going to be things that look like typos or make no sense. It's not because I don't proofread, it's because my damaged brain doesn't see what's wrong. I try my best, but things will slip through. I don't need them pointed out, I know they're there, but if I continued to worry about them I wouldn't write at all. I didn't for quite some time. It's painful as a past master of words to use them so badly, but fortunately the words don't seem to mind.

Flat Stanley

A friend's daughter's class is doing Flat Stanley. Follow the link to find out more, but in a nutshell, I have a paper cut out figure of a guy called Flat Stanley, because he's flat. I take pictures of his adventures and send them to the student. Today Flat Stanley rode Oliver. It didn't turn out like we thought it would.

Stanley on his noble steed
Uh oh! Good thing he's wearing a helmet
Ollie! What are you doing?
Let Flat Stanley go!   




Beating him against the wall? seriously? If he didn't have a concussion from his fall he certainly does now



That is quite enough Young Man.


Flat Stanley is quite soggy, but intact from his ordeal. He helped me feed too





As amusing as Oliver trying to eat him is, I still won't have the best pictures. One of the other Flat Stanleys is in Sochi with an ice skating reporter and getting selfies with ice skaters.
