I couldn't read. I tried. Jack and Jill went up that hill but what they did once they got there was always a mystery. I tried to read. Still I tried. The education system here puts you in school at 3 or 4 years-old. They start immediately. I did try. But the words were a… Continue reading Reading

Dream-catcher
I have a funny brain. Not funny ha-ha, but funny peculiar. The wiring is weird for one and sometimes I can't grasp stuff easily, like reading or the difference between seeing and watching... That is a huge difference... Imagine in the conversation saying you have seen Brad Pit instead of watching him on the TV.… Continue reading Dream-catcher
