Dear Steve, Hedgehogs are the main topic of Gilbert’s letter XXVII. For once, he has done something with a wild animal that I understand and acknowledge. I’m not sure how he procured (his word) his family of hedgehogs; I hope it was not by stealing from their mother, and I am sure he treated themContinue reading “2094 – Letter to Steve XXVII – That’s just nature all over.”

2002 – Writers Flood?
What’s the opposite of writer’s block, where you freeze because you can’t think of anything to write about? Perhaps Writers Flood? You might think the opposite is, well…just write as normal.
