Hmm... interesting... I like short stories but, considering that my Nurses story could hold open a solid steel security door, I'll go for that.

My son...quit his job in December and went to Germany for five weeks to be with his girlfriend. While there he managed to land a job in Vancouver in his field.
As you know, I am a huge fan of Germany and the Germans, but even I am impressed by this!

Hello to all my Story Space friends. I have been gone for too long.
My current condition is not too bad, and I am still breathing and smiling. That is great considering I am three years past the average lifespan the doctors initially gave me,
I have been trying methods to be able to write and make sense. If what I write does not always seem right, please let me know my mistakes to remedy that in the future.
I have been reading your writing for most of the time I was 'gone.' Now I hope to mingle again, and I may submit some pieces if they come out good enough.
I hope to be here with you for a little longer, which makes me very happy.
Hey, Roland. Good to see you back and in reasonable health. Long may it continue.

Just dropped by to wish Larry a Happy Birthday, but then saw what has happened to Gillian!
A broken Clavicle is not 'fine'. It is one of the most painful and inconvenient breaks you can have. It is no wonder you cannot sleep. I hope it heals quickly.
Good to hear that your parents are getting the vaccine, though. I have no clue when we will get ours. Our rates have gone through the roof and we are in major lockdown here.
Of course, Brexit is just making matters so much worse.
So, Hi everyone. Stay safe and well and, of course,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LARRY!

I wish I could split my time between city and country but, sadly, I cannot. Country it is, then as that is where I live.

...and speaking of Adagio...
I have only just discovered this. It is from the 1975 Renaissance album, Turn of the Cards. My all time favourite song is Northern Lights from the Song for all Seasons album.
A friend at the time told me that if I liked that album then I wouldn't like their others. Oh, how I wish I hadn't taken notice of him! If only YouTube had been invented then...
Annie Haslam had the most incredibly beautiful voice.

Yesterday, Marko Hietala, bass guitarist with symphonic metal band, Nightwish, suddenly resigned. This is what he said;
Dear people. I am leaving Nightwish and my public life.
For a quite a few years now I haven’t been able to feel validated by this life. We have streaming company big guns demanding 9/5 work from artists of inspiration while unfairly sharing the profits. Even among the artists. We’re the banana republic of the music industry. Biggest tour promoters squeeze percentages even from our own merchandise while paying dividends to Middle East. Apparently some theocracies can take the money from the music that would get you beheaded or jailed there without appearing as hypocrites. Just a couple of examples here.
This past year forced me to stay home and think. And I found myself very disillusioned about these and a lot of things. I found out that I am in need of that validation. For me to write, sing and play, I need to find some new reasons and inspirations. ”My Walden” so to speak. And it’s even in my book that I’m a chronic depressive. It’s dangerous for me and the people around me, if I continue. Some of the thoughts a while back were dark. Don’t worry, I’m fine. I have my two sons, a wife, the rest of the family, friends, a dog and lots of love.
And I don’t think that I’ll be gone for good.
Conspiracy is the word of the day. For the people who like them I need to say that my 55th birthday is now on 14th of Jan and I’ve certainly done my time for now. Blaming for instance Tuomas is an insult to both him and my free thinking. This is a very sad thing to all of us too. Have a care please.
But of course now we’ll know, if some go there on purpose.
There are a couple of things agreed on that I will do on 2021. Otherwise I kindly and with respect ask the media, bands, artists projects etc. to not ask me for anything within the next year. I have some reinventing to do. I hope to tell you about it on 2022. It’s not a promise though.
I am so sorry about this.
Marko Hietala
P.S. Tony Iommi is an exception to the “no contact whatsoever”. Childhood hero takes a precedence.
Considering the pressures that are placed on top performers by corporate entities and the media, the announcement, whilst sad, is wholly understandable and I wish him well in whatever path he takes in the future.
