I'll admit that, once upon a time, I watched Glee. I didn't watch it for long. I really enjoyed the music, but the stories were crap.

Weird
Growing up, I went to church with a woman called Weird. I'm pretty sure, for a long time, I thought that was her actual name. Really, her name was Jean. But to most of us, she was just Weird. My Dad had become close to her family a long time before I was born. Apparently, … Continue reading Weird

I recently moved to a new house. But prior to leaving the townhouse that I'd lived in for two years, something odd arrived in the mail.

There was a time when I had a hard time saying no to people's requests. Someone would ask a favor and, not wanting to disappoint them, I would agree to it. I'd say yes without thinking.
