Persimmon

I am ill again. A cold occupies my thought and body and stears me awry of concerted behavior. I find it hard to concentrate. I walk and feel unearthly – my legs move and toss my feet forward with each step and yet they seem not to strike the ground. If stopped I...

Nice hard, or hard hard?

Mornings this week and next I have been taking a Macromedia (or is that Adobe?) Flash course off-site from work. Work has paid for it and I am taking it with two other gents from the Globe, a newspaper/web designer and a just-web designer. This program is one of the...
