A quick word

Some of my readers know more than others, but in any case I'm picking up my blogging for a bit more to keep all my friends and family in the loop. The reason for this is because I was in and out of the hospital recently and I want to pay back how much support I received while in there. Feel free to...

And now for something completely different...

Yellow :: Hello. Blue :: You. Green :: Seem. White :: All Right. {::your poem} This poem has an author, why g...
