En vacances? Not really

by Bill on August 27, 2010

The other day I came upon some writing I did quite a while ago. By “a while” I mean fifteen to twenty years ago. Amid all that writing I found a series of stories I wrote. I had put them together under a tentative title, Rather Short Stories for Rather Small People. Other than being [...]

I feel better now — and at least for now. I finally changed something that has been bothering me for a long time.
