The mega story showed quite a bit of difference between what was promised and what was delivered on the camping trip. Things being what they were, it's good that the camping was cut short. The mini story had an interesting comparison of short-lived tech satisfactions and the short-lived joy of camping.<br /><br />I'm running very, very late, but I have my stories up now.<br /><br />I'm sorry I've been so late, but I've been having some health problems for a while that seem reluctant to go away, and it saps my strength and makes it difficult to concentrate on writing.<br /><br />Stephen from Scottsdale, Arizona, USA<br />http://stephen-has-spoken.blogspot.com/Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05652404381086061102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-25612682855255576822010-02-24T22:34:49.138-05:002010-02-24T22:34:49.138-05:00Wow!

Taut 10 worder and ingenious use of “plug-ins”.<br /><br />I like the “idea” of camping, but the prospect of rain soaked tents and creaky joints dampens the allure. These days, I take comfort in a warm bed and a brisk afternoon walk.<br /><br />Wonderful theme threading through the stories: disillusionment with the real vs. ideal, choosing reconciliation and ultimately acceptance of things, imperfect as they are.<br /><br />I marvel at the magic you weave with words, the tenderness you bring to bear on the most complex of human matters.gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14488809730387509552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-54252132918551100782010-02-23T19:43:45.811-05:002010-02-23T19:43:45.811-05:00"she was a sampler of wonders" - loved t..."she was a sampler of wonders" - loved that.<br />I'm also wondering if club Fred was somehow a pun like phrase on Club Med - a much favored vacation. :)Carlettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11178161514195582965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-88182306267432449412010-02-22T07:17:11.066-05:002010-02-22T07:17:11.066-05:00i was convinced that it was next time that we reac...i was convinced that it was next time that we reached the century and have now missed it - but i will definately play week 101 in memory of Dr John.Don't Feed The Pixieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380146661526476947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-7069279206566795202010-02-20T14:22:18.496-05:002010-02-20T14:22:18.496-05:00I changed the Mr.Linky to the right one, thanks fo...I changed the Mr.Linky to the right one, thanks for telling me.

I love the word pictures you paint - and so succinctly, too! I did wonder, given the rather dark subject matter in my two ongoings, whether to do something different this week, but in the end I went with what I originally wrote. I hope the have blogger feeds in heaven and I love the idea of a special Dr John Mini next week.

Liked your stories. Camping not my idea ...Hi Raven,<br />Liked your stories. Camping not my idea of fun either for partly the same reasons (allergies and asthma). Add aching joints and neck to that and I really, REALLY prefer not being quite so close to the ground! ;) <br /><br />Sorry for your Mr Spartan but I like the realistic twist in that one too!<br /><br />The words did seem hard and inspiration low this week, but then I thought of Dr John, and "in his honour" as well as in honour of your <b>100th(!!!)</b> celebration, I thought, no, this week I'm NOT going to procrastinate. So I actually had my post finished even before Mr Linky had turned up.<br /><br />I also had a <a href="http://islandofvoices.blogspot.com/2010/02/in-memoriam-dr-john.html" rel="nofollow">In Memoriam</a> post about Dr John at my Island of Voices blog on Thursday.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13956409908791716009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-43679278321477459042010-02-20T00:44:33.604-05:002010-02-20T00:44:33.604-05:00Mommy W...

I like the idea of camping but on one of the rare occasions that I camped I nearly died of an asthma-like reaction, which probably has colored my idea of it as being fun.Ravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04996538460071167819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-44138896333529127372010-02-20T00:20:30.130-05:002010-02-20T00:20:30.130-05:00Ha!
