Weird and Wonderful
I have not written anything too strenuous in a while now. My plan was during summer break from teaching I would spend my time writing, playing the guitar, and working out with a little house work on the side. I started with a strong resolve. What I didn't count on was how lazy I really …
Over 40 years ago my family moved to Moore. Shortly after we moved my dad bought us an Atari. Pong was mesmerizing and I played for hours.
