I signed up for this online writer’s class. It’s nothing too major, but I did have to write an interesting item today which really got me thinking. One of the questions on the assessment for the module I am on says to write a 500 word story about what you would do if you found … Continue reading
Matt’s Appreciation 2020 Tour
A while back I posted something on Facebook about the need to show more appreciation for the people you have in your life. I said that it was something I was thinking a lot about recently and wanted to try and find a way to do it. Since then, I have been working on writing … Continue reading

Stuck in a Box
It’s now been a few weeks since we have all been in quarantine. The “work from home” thing hasn’t really affected me as I have been doing that for well over a year now.

Pondering…
It’s almost midnight and I am supposed to be in bed, asleep. But with all of these thoughts about my book running through my head, all I’m doing is tossing and turning.

I have been seeing a lot of commentary about Greta Thunberg and climate change and with the Canadian election being held today, I’m seeing plenty of content on Facebook about people claiming the whole thing is a sham and it’s just some kind of Liberal scam to keep them in office. Aside from the fact … Continue reading

Finding Comfort in 4A
It was May 20th, 1993 and I had no plans that night. As usual, my roommate was hiding in his bedroom so the living room was open for me to watch whatever television I felt like taking in that evening. I sat down in front of my TV, turned it on to NBC, and said … Continue reading

Digging Through Old Drawers
I told Tamara earlier today that I wanted to get some writing done so after the kids went to bed, I sat at the table and did a little writing. Mind you, it wasn’t the kind of writing she had in mind as it was a song we had talked about earlier that I was … Continue reading

It’s Always There, Never Forgotten
Some years I think about it and smile and it’s nothing more than just a passing memory. Other years I take stock of what I have and what I have gained, along with how much has changed since that day. It’s not something I talk about, even to my wife. She knows about what happened … Continue reading
