It has recently been impossible to sit down and post something. With two kids all available free time is taken up and personal time has completely evaporated.

Chilling Memento
This junk item in World of Warcraft, “Chilling Memento” gave me pause when I read its description. “A haunting reminder of a life long since expired.” It reminded me of my fascination with long forgotten graveyards on which I even devoted a post; Graveyards and The Meaning of Life.

Its light will stream through windows to…… Continue reading Oyster Point – Tuesday, Feb. 24th
