If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.”
—Orson Welles

As always, I do not necessarily agree with all writing on a contributor’s blog. If a post appears here, it is because I consider it worth reading.

I wish us all happy endings upon happy endings.

Blog Carnivals used to be fun.
But now it appears that I’m done.
Cuz the site we’re all using
To build them’s refusing
My stuff — no more Mad Kane post fun.

I canceled my carnivals too,
And that fact often makes me feel blue.
Perhaps some day once more
I’ll post carnies galore,
But for now I’m as bereft as you.
