When you run out of cute quotes, is there any reason to say anything else?

My apologies to those of you that accidentally clicked on the wrong link and wound up here. I hope you eventually find what you were looking for.

There was a time when I wanted to write, but the honesty of time has taught me that was wishful thinking. I have lots of ideas (some are actually interesting), but I typically fail to put any life in them. I will continue to write, not because I think over time I will improve (though perhaps I will), but because writing has become my therapy. Each idea that is transformed into an article is like another crying child put to bed in restful sleep. For the most part I do not require anyone waking them, but they are here and you are free to browse. Just tuck them back in when you are finished.

I am actually a novelty seeker. (It is a real thing, see neophilia.) This should not be confused with being a thrill seeker, which I definitely am not. (Life is short, there is no reason to make it shorter.) I love games of all kinds, but my competitiveness tends to put people off. Thankfully, solitary computer games are abundant these days and I get to keep a few friends.

I am retired (software) with my wife, our dogs, and our cats and I keep wondering how I was ever able to put in 40 hours a week on a regular job. I simply do not have enough time for all the things I want to do. Maybe I need fewer activities, but what do I keep and what do I ignore?

All series and stories can be found at jbjo1956. The quotes and illustrations are mine unless noted otherwise. (If I have accidentally plagiarized someone's work, please advise and I will correct the documentation as needed with the proper credit.)
