In praise of cautious fear

"The coward dies a thousand times; the brave man, only once. But the brave man does tend to get the shit kicked out of him a lot more while he's alive."

I have been through a few emotional shit-kickings in my time, and I'm really not sure I want to expose myself to that again......

Call me Prufrock....

It looks more beige from where I'm sitting. But no, not nice at all.

I am dreading having to go out in this, but...... this really is about the last day I can get my Christmas posting done.

Beige isn't a color. It's a state of mind.
