Tempus Fugit

Where will Kronos take me next?

Opting In – Part 2

It turns out that “in” is not where one should always opt.

choices, consequences

Opting In – #SoCS

I still didn’t read those pages of tiny font explaining my terms of acceptance…

Do they ever stop breathing?

lies, symbiosis, truth, zombies

Choosing a Ring – #SoCS

My Ring doorbell chime still has a witch cackle from Halloween. I should probably change that – or not. There … More

binary, choices, tertiary, unbroken

it happens to everyone…

He worked hard to look strong

#limerick, funny, limerick, Politics

missed dosages

now I just feel dumb.

#haikai, #haiku, #tanka, anxiety, medication

opening?

friendly, yet foreboding.
