“Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it, and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work – and realizing what is opportunity and what isn’t.” ~ Lucille Ball My friends and I have a little pet phrase we say when one or the other […]

To every guy that’s said, “You’re beautiful.” To every guy that was never too busy to drive across town (or across the state) to see her. To every guy that gives flowers and a card when she is sick. To every guy who has given her flowers just because. To every guy that said he […]

Besides the word “can’t,” there are two other words that I just don’t like.  The words “I wish”.  To me, the words “I wish” are equivalent to the words “I can’t”.  It drives me nuts when people sit around and say “I wish this would happen” or “I wish I could do this…”  I literally […]

Though primarily addressed to the women, most men who happen to feel drawn to read this post will find themselves doing so with a touch of curiosity. Of course, they think they already know what a man wants and are curious as to whether I am going to say something different or not. They think […]

I’m leaving’ said The Fear, dragging his suitcase into the hallway. ‘Does this mean I will be fear-less?’ I asked. ‘Not quite’ said The Fear, ‘Apprehension has decided to stay’. I smiled, wished The Fear well, and watched him nervously open my front door. ‘Maybe see you again’ he almost smiled, as he headed for the […]

I enter the store and order my cheap-chocolate. The shopkeeper smiles briefly at me, before giving me my change: one five-dollars note and several coins.
