Drastic melodies for a pause before they refresh.

Cymbals and french horns addressed each other as if they were long-lost friends.

Out of the space on the left, sprinklings of menacing merriment mixed with masterful meandering and mirth.

A new coat of paint is so old school that perhaps it should be spelled painte.

The Old Painte Shoppe is where you get goode grubbe and delicious dainties.

Now we’re back to the present, let’s launch the small rocket for the weekend.

There was a pen, and headphones, and a keyboard on a small table in the middle of the wheat fields.

There is every reason to bring farming in from the cold. Especially in winter!

We write to you, you reply sometimes, after a while. We are excited to receive the news.

Remember there is no such thing as “nothing much happened”. If it’s about you, we want to know.

And yes, you are very welcome to use pen and paper, in fact that’s a thrill.

We’re happy with that number.

The number you just thought of.

Thank you and welcome.

High land views and wispy breezes send the right message – the right one is always good, that’s how you can tell.

Away with dictators, despots, and ne’er-do-wells; hello to the wise and strong and sensitive, intelligent ones. Makes us smile, does it not?

Surely you can turn the corner at a faster pace, then slow down afterwards?

We weren’t so sure! But off we went, built up speed, felt the sheer force of gravity and the exhilaration of success!

The principle was wrong. That it worked out so well was luck, or a fair wind, or the bright sun or the loud applause of loyal crowds…or who knows?

We will certainly find out!

And to think all this was part of an exercise to fill the final chapter of another author’s book.

But then, we are happy to help!

Yes!

Always the answer to “there must be a better way?”.

And we can, and we will, and please join us.

This time, we really do, honestly, really, want your suggestions.

We want to hear your stories, to know how you feel.

Don’t hold back, don’t hold out, please be frank, be impolitely direct and directly polite. (Oh yes, there is subtlety there…you must learn!).
