Visiting with an old friend

My old friend Candice has been visiting me for the last few months. She is as engaging and persuasive as she has ever been and is up for some major convincing. For you see, she knows I have been keeping a small collection of stories hidden in an old hard drive. She is now insisting that I share them with some of my old friends and perhaps with others that could become new friends.

I have tried my best to explain that these stories are just a pile of unfinished drafts, some of them only a couple of sentences outlining a possible plot. However, Candice has told me that our mutual friend, Nagita-sensei is too busy with other things to take the time and energy needed to share her stories.

"Perhaps, you should give it a try" Candice has suggested with that smile of hers that she knows I can't resist, "There is so much music, poetry, funny moments, and even some tears that would be great to share with our friends all over the world. Why wouldn't you tell the tales that bloom in my garden?"

So she kept nagging me in the midst of my busy professional life, during my latest spring trips, and even during my sleepless hours. Therefore, this page has been born.
