Been a minute since I was here. While I was away, there were a few more headaches -nothing serious; I assure you I have had a worse time with hangovers. I’ve had to clear my throat from time to time to allow my voice to operate at its best. Despite all this, I still identify…
It’s Christmas Day and way back when, that would mean last minute shopping and getting agitated by the long lines of like-minded individuals spread out across the supermarket. Not this year though… or the last, actually. Now we just stay put and hope for the best. How about we simply run through 10 things. Masking…
The Morning Nothing dramatic to report. I’ve checked my oxygen saturation using three devices, and it looks good.

The evening before; A friend hinted there might be a nationwide internet blackout, but I was too preoccupied with the security situation back home to do anything about it. I also didn’t have the chance to share this bit of intel until it was too late. As I type this out, I have a message…
12th Dec. 2020 | 1515Hrs I woke up this morning with this random idea, “What if we updated the nativity story to fit the times?”. As usually happens with these things, the idea evolved as the day progressed and I finally tightened it (I think) with the hope that maybe, just maybe, I might actually…
They have another king now.One brought here on a boat.For me, they no longer bowThey would defy me for an idea,One they cannot see,Cannot feel, cannot hear Oh, how we’ve fought.
