StrokeJoke

Posted on June 14, 2018 by FiFYI

I didn’t blog yesterday. I nearly didn’t today either. I’m a little stuck in my thoughts. I’m trying very hard not to be overcome by my circumstances. Sometimes I lose that battle for a little while. I think that happened … Continue reading →

Sounding off

The importance of spelling and grammar

Posted on June 19, 2014 by FiFYI

This is not what I came here for

Posted on November 25, 2012 by FiFYI

So… Hi. I’ve been meaning to come back here for some time but never really felt that I was in the right frame of mind. Too angsty or uninspired or lacking real commitment or whatevs.  Anyhoo, so I came here … Continue reading →
