Easy come, easy go…
Well, I’ve been at this new job for almost two months and it seems that I’ll be leaving it in the next little while. My one time manager at my previous job had called about a week ago, telling me that one of our competitors was interested in starting up a new marketing department and that he’s...

Two little birds sit perched…
Recently, I wrote a comment to one of MiaElla’s posts. As many of you know, she’s recently suffered the loss of a loved one. As it so often happens, when confronted by a friend’s loss, I feel as if anything I might say will sound stupid, cliché, two dimensional and it might even do more harm than...

Who I am…
In a recent post, Passionflower invited us all to write something about who we are. I found this a challenge, and took it as an invitation to do a bit of creative writing on my character and being. Indeed, I think that what I wrote there was inspired by a demon! But even demonic inspiration needs a...

The Owl of Minerva, the Owl of Athena and the Owl of Wisdom...
Yes, yes, I know! All three are the same. Greeks, Romans, philosophers. They all thought that the owl was the bird of wisdom. Well, it's true! "Oh, sure." You might say. "And how do you know it's true?" Here is how I know. Over the weekend, I went up to our old house to pick up some of the books we...

This endless winter…
Well, it’s February and as is usual for this time of year, I am depressed, bored and cold most of the time. When I lived in Toronto, I use to blame it on the lack of light. But here in Greece, there is much more light at this time of year, so that theory goes out the window. So what can it be?...

I've been cheating and now I feel guilty...
Hello, my Blogit darlings. I know you've all missed me, but hey, I'm a cheatin' sort of guy and I've been out and about, flirting with other servers that have been offering all sorts of 'other' delights that have been titilating my poetic mind. Yes, you've guessed it. I've been two-timin' Blogit. I...

The Shits and the Johnson’s…
One of my favorite authors, William S. Burroughs, in his collection of essays ‘The Adding Machine’, once categorized humanity into two groups: The Shits and the Johnson’s. I know that any categorization like that oversimplifies, and I’m sure Burroughs knew that too, but I think that he did this in...

We’ve had horrible weather today, all across Greece…
It’s just been so rainy, with a bit of hail here and there…and the winds are rabid… At least it’s not that cold. I know that it’s not as bad as some of the weather people have had to deal with in the US and Canada… And we’ve had a few power outs… Hate them… But what can one do, but stoically endure...

On little monsters and such…
Today I met my little student who wants to learn how to play African drums. He’s a cute little seven year old. I went over to his house after I’d left the office. I don’t know what he expected of me, but when I walked through the door, he just stood there, just a bit behind his mother and a little...

The cutie at work…
Isn’t there always a cutie at work? There sure is one where I’m at… She’s tall and lean and with a head on her shoulders that carries a lot of experience and eyes that see through people and situations… That’s what makes her sad and depressed. When you live in a small town like the one we live in,...
