Before Care, and Love……
There are a million ways to show someone that you care. And just as many ways to show love. Some, choose to demonstrate care through specific actions. Offering to make a special trip to the store to pick up a forgotten prescription, is an example. Preparing dinner and cleaning up all the dishes is a caring […]
The Erosion of Time
Do you remember photo albums? Do you remember the true photo albums, and not the 10101010 holding spot associated with your “library” on your computer? Do you recall the plasticine pages that stuck to each other, smelling of a weird amalgamate of chemicals, needing to be surgically peeled from one another to advance the memories? […]
Tourniquet

Step Back

How much time do you waste scouring and scrutinizing every inch with which you had just had contact? How many times do you lift up the same cushion, despite the […]
The Dot Matrix Human
For those not familiar with dot matrix printers, I would urge you to watch a video of one in action. Here’s a simple example that I found on youtube that gives shows the printer in action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_vXA058EDY As for those that do recall this, now archaic piece of technology, I hope that you are thinking fondly of […]
