This is a collection of my writing and correspondence with a few bits of poetry and random thoughts mixed in. I started this blog after learning that some of my letters had an uplifting quality.
In the pages of this blog you will find my real life trials and tribulations, the nature of what I think is truth, and the dust and grit of my real life.
"Mondo Animals Platypus" By Joan Short, Jack Green, and Bettina
Bird is a book about the platypus and it's life style. This truly interesting animal is presented clearly in this text designed to inform more than entertain. I have to admit these little creatures fascinate me so I read this book at least twice, but it will not go over as well with someone who is not an animal lover. Who should read this book?

'Black Duck and Water Rat' by Percy Trezise & Mary Haginkistas
is the story of how the Platypus came to be according to Australian aborigines. In this case a river rat takes a Black Duck as an unwilling wife and she is the mother of all Platypodes. If you're thinking of getting this book for your children it is a little on the violent side and the idea of a rat forcing itself on a duck is just bizarre. On the other hand this book is nicely illustrated and something I had never heard of before. Who should read this book? Adults Books read: 71 of 5000
