Six feet away. “Will we ever hug again?” is the question of the day. As we creep out of our seclusions, will the bright light of the sun maybe do away with the guy who put us there?

WHAT ARE YOU SHARING TODAY?

So, we no longer shake hands or hug friends at a gathering.

My dear reader, There is one conversation that rarely comes up on my benches. But once it does, I will tell you the subject will be discussed in minute detail and usually accompanied with grotesque facial expressions.

Hello, Dear Reader. So let’s talk about scabs. Well, why not? Most conversations will wind their way around to one body part or another eventually. Perhaps it’s a part that hurts. Maybe a body part of someone else’s that we want to discuss in detail. Good or bad, watch and see if you don’t … Continue reading The Scab’s Message →
