A Few LaughsA gathering of friends in a pub became a source of their anecdotes for a bunch of travelling musicians. Jennifer was the first to relate her tale.“I sang at a house concert, and I was accommodated on a nearby farm.

I’ll pack my clothes tomorrow.I went in and was shown to my room which was a comfortable room. I ate well and slept well.In the morning, after a healthy...

Locked into ArtAce is studying the art display. He likes some of the works but not all. Some are quite traditional; some are memorable but still recognizable. Then, of course, is the ultra-modern or abstract. There is one which just looks like an artist’s floor. Ace goes around the gallery and looks at each piece with an open mind. He thinks he knows what is depicted on some of the pictures, but it takes longer to figure out what the artist is trying to say. Ace is no expert, but he knows what he likes. He gives each picture equal time to se...

TeleportingThe instructions that come with teleporting deal with our fears and the people teleporting before us have already gone through all this. I have the instructions somewhere, but I can’t stop in mid-teleport to read the instructions. I just trust and think of the place I want to be and go for it. I’ve heard of mistakes people have made.Teleporting has many problems if I stop and think about it, but I have been given the power to avoid them. I began by moving a small amount, say across a room. As my confidence builds up I have moved g...

After a few journeys to Glasgow and back I wearied of the unchanging landscape. I took my book out to read a few pages to help fill the journey.I tried a longer sentence with my “Good Morning”, usually weather we were enjoying or avoiding by wrapping our coats more tightly around us.It was usually a relief to board my train, only three carriages to commute myself and my fello...

Bang, bang.“Dear Ben, I’ve just heard the sound of a gun. My mind turned automatically to you my friend who lives near a troubled area. I hoped that nothing has happened to you. I felt that it is not unusual to hear gunfire in your area. I didn’t call, because if it was gunfire, and I thought things would be fairly busy, if it was. I tried to call you but there was no answer so I thought a quick letter to you might confirm if anything was happening. Please let me know if everything is all right with you. A quick note saying ‘Yes I’m still h...

Hey, I’m Bonnie and I am a border collie. I’m supposedly smarter that most people know. I have been favorably compared to Presidents and Senators and other notable people of authority. My owners have repeatedly asked if I should do their jobs and I seem so sensible and wise. I think I could do their jobs better than they can with my friendliness and wise decisions.Most people ask if I’m good at herding. I suppose they mean herding sheep because that is what most border collies do, some to more effect than others. I like keeping my family tog...
