When you wrote:
“Why didn’t you just turn the light back on, Dwayne?”
“Doggone it, you’re right, Mr. Danger! Geez! Why didn’t I see that part comin’?
You cracked me up, too funny! Great story, I had a picture of each...

What I love
Posted on Thu, 30 Jan 2020
What I love is how you paint the picture with the thoughts and recollections of Pat's husband, the story's hero. Because he is a hero, a quiet man walking through the emotional memories of the past. The loss of his son, I feel is something he has...

Posted on Mon, 16 Mar 2020

I mean really interesting, for a bedroom adventure, nostalgia and a Sinclair Spectrum, the man went on to manufacture an ever so British electric car... Which you had to pedal! Always wanted one of those... EBay perhaps? Although no doubt they...

Wonderful piece
Posted on Sun, 16 Feb 2020
I loved reading this, but I suppose the thing to remember, and I'm sure your grandfather would have said the same, sometimes you have to "take it all with a pinch of salt." Let the grand kids fact check - pinch of salt!

Confused!
Posted on Thu, 30 Jan 2020
I read it, had to look up some words, couldn't find "groan-sat." I don't really think I understood it. It was supercharged with imagery, but the descriptions seemed truncated and it jumped. I think I'm not clever enough to read this, although I...
