From Experience

We look before and after,

And pine for what is not:

Our sincerest laughter

With some pain is fraught;

Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought

However far man may extend himself with his knowledge,

however objective he may appear to himself -

ultimately he reaps nothing but his own biography.

How I Got My Nickname

Ric Vatner | March 8, 2010

Every time we watched an old movie they would turn to me and ask, “Was it really like that Dad?” One day we were watching Camelot and they turned to me, but before they could open their mouth, I said “Exactly how old do you think I am?”

That’s how I got the nickname Dinosaur.

A Love Story

Ric Vatner | November 10, 2009

“Excuse me” she floated over invading my space but I had already surrendered so I didn’t object. “It won’t go” She said looking back at the car and then at me waiting for an answer.

when I realised that she expected me to fix her beast I had a panic attack and just starred at her in awe and in terror. I couldn’t tell her what a useless sod I was she would find someone else (in a snap). This was a god sent opportunity and I was not going to pass it up.
