Challenge Accepted
For Paul and John's 47-Words Short Story Unofficial Challenge
Ben kneeled, ”Dad, remember when you said that, even if I beat you to the finish line, benched more weight, or took your king, I’d never beat your age? I’m 47 now, so I win.”
Burying steel under marble, Ben whispered, “Warned you not to challenge me.”

Thanks for the challenge!

Bahlool and the Lesson at the Bathhouse
Bahlool was a man who many people called "the wise fool." He lived simply, often wearing dusty clothes and wandering the streets, but those who truly knew him understood that every action he took had a deep meaning. He had a way of teaching people lessons without ever raising his voice.

A Visitor's Guide To Victorian England
A Book Review Being interested in all things Victorian, I am constantly looking for books on the Victorian Era. In fact, I should admit that I am obsessed about ‘all things Victorian’. From the clothes worn by men and women, rich or poor, to how they lived, where they lived, what they ate and would (or would not ) drink, what kind of transport there was, who worked where, who went to school (and who didn’t), the list really is endless.
