Reset
My life is going into reset. Little things that I have counted on for decades are vanishing. I am finding out for instance that this house is a one man job. I am missing the fact that I don’t have a car and don’t know how to drive even if I did. Small comforts are…

Merlin
I am playing a Massive Multiplayer Online game (MMO) called Forge of Empires. In the current event I earned Merlin. I wasn’t sure I had actually gotten him because he was not on my allies list. It turns out he isn’t an ally at all. His picture can be used as my profile avatar. That’s…
