An Itinerant Mind

Vaguely Updatey type of thing.

Beware of stereotypoes.

Ever wondered where new words come from? They are sometimes created by authors and poets. On a related note, would an infrequent and vague collection of herbs be somethymes?

I hope ideas burst upon your unsuspecting minds. Today at work I started sniggering. One of my staff, who knows me well, looked at me and invited me to explain. (She also writes and I am working on her posting on WDC). I had seen/imagined a mugger demanding an old man's wallet, which elicited the reply, "My wallet? Oh yes..." as he reached into his coat, "I keep it here, right next to the large knife I carry." as he draws a knife that wouldn't shame Paul Hogan.

I'm going to post what I've written of the Air Hobos, and see how it is received, before writing any more of it. I suspect writing a sustained comedic piece is actually rather difficult.

I am planning a Groundhog Day giveaway of Merit Badges in February, and am looking forwards to it a great deal.
