The next SEVERAL weeks ‘The Words’ will be dedicated to the sharing of my fanfic opus. Of course, I’m writing it from MY perspective, based on MY fantasies–I’ve even sort of used MY name!–but there’s a little more to this story than that. Years ago, (at least eight, possibly a bit more), I sent a video […]
Acres: More of the Adventure on the Poseidon, Part 1

The Boy in the White Suit (Nice Day for a White Wedding)
