I Send My Thoughts Through Time And Space…(from a poem by J.E. Flecker)
Nov 21, 2018
I am sick of Facebook. I’m tired of its cutesy messages. I don’t want to celebrate the fact that Rudolf Valentino and I have been friends for 3 days. Nor do I want reports on the number of “likes” my comments receive in a week. Frankly, Facebook, I don’t give a damn.

Brain Training With Games — A Follow-Up
Nov 12, 2018
