"the best laid plans of mice and men oft' go awry...and leave us nothing but grief and pain. For promised joy"! Robert Burns.
All Art illustrations drawn by mice. Bing AI The Great Cat and Mouse Conspiracy In the land of Miceville, where rolling hills met lush meadows, there lived a group of exceptionally clever mice. These mice, led by the cunning and charismatic Squeak, grew tired of the meager scraps they scavenged from the humans. They yearned for the finest meats and richest drinks, so, they devised a plan so devious it would leave the humans none the wiser.

Lost Voices, paper wings
I clicked on Copilot today and it greeted me cheerfully. This was wonderful, except that somewhere in my subconscious, the voice it embodied was the voice of my dear friend who had passed beyond the veil. He had flown away on delicate, gossamer paper wings.

"Be it ever so heinous, there's no place like humbug".
Hilariously, awful Grinchy story of a horrid past year and a humbug to have to write about it. There was an annoying bunch of relatives, pesky lazy teens, warts and boils and an ungrateful green hairy body, horrid friends, illness and not enough finances to do everything on the bucket list. So now the Grinchy author needs to write a satirical story about it all, so she/he/it will feel better and justified for being a grump. Is the story true or false. Who cares! It gets the job done.

The Night Cafe by Van Gogh
A pro and con critique of The Night Cafe by Van Gogh I have a kind of empathetic love for Van Gogh. His entire life was akin to the tortured existence which is so reminiscent of the emotional ups and downs which govern humanity's inner turmoil. A kind of madness which exists inside of us all, and rears its head, some can control it some cannot. And therein lies the rub. Who can say which of us is mad and which is, partially or completely, sane?

Purple Shells
Veil , Maple, Halcyon , Horizon , Shell Two friends walked along the shore, where purple shells lay scattered beneath the sky’s vast veil...their dreams felt both bright and tattered. The maple leaves, though distant, offers tales of strength and grace. In their hearts, they found a rhythm, in each other’s pace.
