The ACN is coming to visit this weekend. She is very excited. (Beyond the normal excitement that anyone feels when they get to hang out with me.) She just got an electric wheelchair. We have decided to call it “Super Chair-y.” Something that cracks her up. A lot. I’ve yet to see the chair, as […]


I don’t own any porn. It’s true. Take a moment to wipe your Bloody Mary off of your monitor. I don’t make this confession to try to impress women and to have them reply with things like: “My word, Peter is such a gentleman!” “Yes, quite!” Mostly because I rarely ever date snooty rich British […]

When I was in grade nine or ten, my French teacher asked me to stay after class. This didn’t really strike me as overly strange. I was a sarcastic bastard, so I was assuming that he wanted to tell me to, you know, stop being a sarcastic bastard. Dude was one of my favourite teachers. […]

He backspaced over the two lines.Hating the realitymore than he enjoyed the wording.He stared at the blank screen,trying to will the words to appear.At least in his head.But, that filled with pictures.A smile that looked like it snuck up on her.Every.

The other morning, I heard a familiar song from my youth. (No, it wasn’t The Andrews Sisters or the Glenn Miller Orchestra, you saucy bastards.) It wasn’t one my favourite songs. But, I liked it well enough, I suppose. The thing is that it very much reminded me of a crush that I had back […]
