Adrian and the Diary
Link to the Challenge: Dear Diary, Well, here we are. I've managed to finally find a way to get my beloved Pandora to be a part of my life. The clinic has said that it was just a temporary breakdown and she needs all the attention I can bestow, so I am technically a part of her life again. No sign of her ex after the news reported on their last spat (it must be nice to have your own plane, a government that looks the other way, and several hidden bank accounts...for now).

Political Thirty-Seven
Not political? Who gets to be ahead now? Perfect...for others... * Note: I found out about this particular concept with the number 37, and I had to use it for my series of haikus on politics. I believe that finding work can be a political act, as can the decisions made by the ones hiring and deciding who gets to step ahead.

The Sex Safe!
Yes, we all know how important it is to practice safe sex...or at least, safer sex (I seriously doubt that any sex can truly be safe; cameras and eyewitnesses have a funny habit of sneaking up on you), but we are human, and often, like a woman caught in a rainstorm, we suddenly feel odd sensations we cannot control, and end up getting very wet...on a good day.

Rousseau's Last Tour. Top Story - March 2026.
This was a strange comfort to me these last few weeks. Actually, more than a few weeks. I began this book at the beginning of the year, and put it aside as I realized that I was reading not a fictional account of a life, but the very true thoughts of a writer who has put his fingerprints over much of what I know of French thought in that era.

Cringe Benefits
For Paul and John's 47-Word Challenge: If I had just minded my own business and decided to stay out of the way and not put my two cents in and kept my big nose out of it and stayed in my own lane, I would probably not be too embarrassed to talk about...

Mobius Stripper
I wanted it, and I got it. There were always things about The Prism that bothered me, but those thoughts were unspoken, unwritten and hopefully - this is where I got into trouble - unheard. A bit of a tough time with that last one. We, of course, were on a psychic feed with each other, and you knew the business of people you did not even want to have a meal with; it was up to you to shut certain things out.

The Ice Slick: An Apology
Dear Montréal, Well, this has been a fun two days. Ha, ha. Sorry, I am not well-known for my sense of humour. Often I have been told that I should mind my own business and know my place. Offensive, yes, but I can understand the sentiment. But I needed to vent a little before the season was over. I often feel that you do not appreciate what I give you every summer, and that winter is the price you gotta pay.
