late work

Hi!

It's been a grueling week last week, and this week is no better. So, I'll have to postpone my weekly post to perhaps Friday...

My apologies again... ah the writing life is a rocking sea boat, can't predict too much what happens and you have a lot of uncertainties.

until then, please read some old posts...

here's a gem from 6 months ago "The 'No Thanks' Discipline"

or from Eeyore to Tiger

thanks for your patience, as always

Who Am I?

You're Catch-22!
by Joseph Heller
Incredibly witty and funny, you have a taste for irony in all that you see. It seems that life has put you in perpetually untenable situations, and your sense of humor is all that gets you through them. These experiences have also made you an ardent pacifist, though you present your message with tongue sewn into cheek. You could coin a phrase that replaces the word "paradox" for millions of people.

You're an Eagle!
Sharp-witted and high-flying, you seem to radiate honor and a sense of pride. You'd make a very good lawyer with your keen eye for details. When up in that rare air, however, make sure to remember to look down to keep your bearings. You never know when it might be important for you to have landed. If you're bald, you love the United States of America, but if you have hair, you feel more ambivalent about it.
