Thursday Thoughts: Universal Flaws

Posted on February 19, 2026 by Silver James

Earlier this week, I discussed character flaws. Apparently, the Universe follows this blog because this popped up in my inbox. Perfect people are boring. Uninteresting. They have no place to go but down, and while delivering a come-uppance to those … Continue reading →

Posted on February 18, 2026 by Silver James

Here we are back with another Wednesday, along with some new words. Sadly, I didn’t make the cut last week but that’s okay. I shouldn’t be greedy. Right? Anyway, a scene is a scene is a scene after all. There’s … Continue reading →

Posted on February 13, 2026 by Silver James

First, happy Friday the 13th. I’m not superstitious (about Friday the 13th anyway) but if you are, here’s something to take your mind off any bad luck that might occur. I laughed. At all of them. Because, yeah. I have … Continue reading →

It’s Wednesday. We are almost half-way through February. I’m wearing flipflops instead of thick socks and fuzzy slippers. The world is topsy-turvy. But I have coffee, a prompt, and new words to share. No win, place or show in the … Continue reading →

As predicted, the Super Bowl was boring. I did care who won but it would have been nice to have some real football shoved in there between the commercials. I didn’t actually time the difference but I’m pretty sure that … Continue reading →
