This is a place I come to say everything about nothing. Where fiction may overule reality; where fantasy may supplant rational thought and reason; where we may engage in discourse about anything and everything. Writing here is much like leaning on the hardwood of a bar and bending the sometimes sympathetic, sometimes mocking, and sometimes opposing ear of the bartender. I reserve the right to discuss fictional facts and factual fiction and to express myself in concert with the world around me. We may be in perfect time and tune or we may be in opposing ryhthm and key – but here? I write the music. I welcome anyone to pull up a stool and join in! It’s not a lounge – it’s a bar – I’m not a saint – I’m a pirate – beware and be ready.
