What lies over the horizon - Ha! The three line conversations mixed with that picture of serious looking birds was a great combination. I bet aliens are having discussions like this about life on other planets.

A six string life - Oh poor Charlie. I like to believe that, despite everything that happened, Frank did him a favour when he gave him the guitar. We can all use a best friend in our lives.

What happens when you want a pillow too intensely - When I first started reading this story, I did not at all expect for things to unravel the way it did. I was grinning through most of it, and ended up laughing out loud a few times.

I am so glad there is over 100 of these! These stories are great!

Congratulations on Issue 100, Mark. Thank you for showing up every single week and for always delivering. Your stories don’t ever seem to lose their spark or charm. I find myself laughing and smiling every time without fail.

And here I thought I was the only one with a pillow obsession. I have tried pretty much every pillow on the market. Fortunately, I never purchased one from a company with a disgruntled employee. I finally found one I love, but I must stack it two deep for optimum sleep. On the upside, we have nine grandchildren and all have their very own pillow when they visit. See. Obsession can have a happy ending. I will watch for your pillow in the night sky. Happy strumming.
