Tech Complications

This somewhat ages me but, I still think of a book as the original lap top. In the course of my career as a teacher I used a type writer, a word processor, a computer and eventually after generations of development a tablet. Having seen all that tech develop and come and go, I got…

Ordinary and Extraordinary

Lots of writers focus on the extraordinary; a battle, or event. I tend to focus on the mundane and let events disrupt the natural flow. I relish the ordinary, daily and seasonal routines and boring predictability. Change is inevitable, growth is expected and life is an exercise in adjustments.
