Difficulties Of Holidays On Vocal
Introduction Last week I had a wonderful week in Alnwick, but tried to keep up on Vocal, although my time was less than I normally have, plus a little more difficult because I was using a ten-year-old laptop with a faulty keyboard (the space bar does not always register, meaning I have to keep going back to separate words).

Why Cybersecurity Is Critical for Modern Businesses in the Digital Age
As businesses continue to adopt digital technologies, cybersecurity has become one of the most important aspects of modern business management. Companies store large amounts of sensitive information online, including customer data, financial records, and internal communications. While technology helps organizations operate more efficiently, it also exposes them to various cyber threats.

Is the American Caregiver Association Legit?
Many people search online to find clear and honest information about the American Caregiver Association. This question is natural because caregiver training can affect work choices, income, and the safety of loved ones at home. Before joining any program, families and caregivers want to know if an organization is real, trustworthy, and useful for their situation.

What is the Difference?
I just thought of this article from the idea of my previously published drabble of future writing projects. What is the difference between old-school typewriting and keyboarding. In a keyboarding class do they still make the students use correct posture, fingers on homerow, how to figure margins and such beginning skills of beginning typists? Do they have Timed writings for speed and accuracy? How many of us who had Typing in school remember when having these one-minute, three-minute or five-minute writings to make sure of proper finger placement, proper posture with feet flat on the floor and the teacher walking up and down the aisle making sure.

Writing plans coming up
This is a quick drabble of my upcoming writing articles. First coming attractions in my opinion are a lot of book blurbs of old and new books that I have read, but not complete reviews just to create possible interest. Another idea I had was to offer in this day and age of keyboarding some typing lessons from an old typing textbook I had in high school. Also, I am planning on writing more of my Alphabet stories, as well as more of my art colorings for I just bought a new Bible coloring book. I hope you share thoughts.

Tupac Was My Father. Content Warning.
Written by Xavier D. Prue on March 7, 2026 B.X. As a troubled youth who grew up without his parents, I imagined the legendary Tupac Shakur as my father! Raised by the rap lyrics coming out the speakers of my boombox, I see 2Pac as my first male role model. I grew up in a violent neighborhood on the lower-income side of Norwich, Connecticut, called the West Side where Dad was just a foreign word. Immediately following his murder in 1996 on the Las Vegas strip, Tupac became the connection that my peers and I related to every time we heard him scream “West Side” in his songs. Just two simple words, but it was a statement that made us feel we weren’t forgotten. I want to touch lives in the same manner that ‘Pac did and it inspired me to develop a Creative Arts center that will help the youth turn their ambitions into reality.

Turning the Ephemeral into the Concrete
Some experiences feel real while they are happening and unreal almost immediately afterward. A conversation that sparks clarity, a realization that reframes a problem, a moment where scattered thoughts suddenly align. In the moment, there is a sense that something solid has been grasped. But without capture, that solidity dissolves. What remains is a faint impression, detached from the reasoning that made it meaningful. The experience was real, but it left no durable trace.

A New Song
A New Song I woke up the other day and heard this new song. It seemed a bit familiar, but I could not place it. I don’t know where it was coming from either. So I smiled and listened to it. It was one of the most beautiful songs, I have heard in a long time.

Dancing in the Dark
They are sitting in fire-lit companionable silence. Each deep in thought. When he thinks about his life, he hasn’t made a song and dance about things.

Neighbours
The end of the row was dominated by the red brick, iron-railed schools. The small infant school was separated by a central drive from the Juniors, the lair of the terrifying Miss Chudleigh, “Ugly Chugly” we called her, but not if she was in earshot. At the top of the drive was the Secondary Modern, where they put your head down the bog and pulled the chain.

I want to run
It was 6:15. He had been watching the digits change since 5:37. He would get up, he liked an early start for his long run of the week. His wife and kids were used to his early morning routines. His wife was long past caring, and the kids now seemed oblivious even to his presence. They would all carry on doing their own things.
