The header photo above this text is my heavy digital manipulation of my own photo taken near Victoria Harbour, Ontario, Canada in Tay Township showing a view of Hogg Bay, part of Georgian Bay.
What is this blog about you ask?
If you look at the TAG Cloud you can see that there are a lot of posts about dialysis, photography, and poetry, and then lots of smaller sized tags. This blog is not too too serious. There is a wide range of notions considered generally in a whimsically bemused sort of a way. A long time ago someone labelled me an opti-cynic. I was cynical but also optimistic. I think that is still true.
I am not sure where this is going. That may be a good thing.
There is a saying that writing is practice for later writing. If blogging is a form of writing or pre-writing, then maybe blogging is a later form of scribbling. Scribbling being something you put down on a napkin because the fact that it is a napkin reduces the anxiety of writing down something really, really dumb.
I am not sure what the photographic equivalent of scribbling on a napkin is, unless it is blazing away with a digicam. Maybe not.
The photographs and writing on this blog are copyrighted to William J. Gibson. They are posted here for amusement, bemusement, and seamusemint.
I cross link photos from flickr.com where I have a pro account.
For some 25 years I earned a living of sorts as a general technical writer, so I know my way around the MS Office Suite in depth and have accumulated spiritual and mental scar tissue in a variety of writing and editing situations.
I read too many books and I prefer watching old movies.
Be safe, be well.

Great writing.
I’m a fan. I lost my mother recently.
Don’t get up. I stumbled in while googling poor Pete Dexter’s ass, looked around and liked what you’d done with the place. I’ve bookmarked your place (ashes over the entry) and will come back “when you’re decent,” as they say.
I’ll bring a bottle of something.
You write well.
My center here in Newport News is great. I go to DaVita, the nurses, technicians, social worker, dietitian and doctors all work hard to keep us knowledgeable and confident. I love that they teach us and expect us to make informed decisions in our care.
I told several technicians that I am talking to a dialysis patient in Canada, Keisha says “hi.”
I hope you find a way to keep busy during your treatments. Sometimes I play cards online, but usually it is a good time to write emails and catch up with friends and family. Of course, there is my new blog. I hope to really generate some public knowledge with it. I am also going to track my fundraising as I attempt to raise 50,000 for the Kidney
Trust Fund before October
