Saturday Evening Post

This week has been a long one. Work was scarce and so was my patience. The highlight of the week was being able to turn the air off and open the windows for a few hours to air out the house without it getting so hot you couldn't breath.

OK so there were two highlights. I had a guest spot over at M3 that was rather well received. I managed to get some work done when there was no work available.

I found out Elance now requires a paid membership to see what the range of bids are on the projects. I do not want to see them that badly. I can find work there without seeing them, or I can go elsewhere. That screams greed, they already take a fee from every payment you get.

Well, I'm done with ranting for the week so I'll be going now.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
