I use C L Couch when writing formally because it is a version of my name that's genderless. And, frankly, easier for handwriting--I have a severe writer's cramp. In conversation, I go by Christopher, having been named for the boy who had the poly bear and finally being (achieving) fine with that.
I use small Xes all the time because WordPress won't let me cut and paste the text from my program page to this one. (Grrrrrr.)
I am a career educator, semi-retired due to disability. I live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania (USA).
The main photographs at this site (of the road, of me) were crafted by photographer and my friend Debra Danielson. A variety of her work is available for appreciation at
Thank you, lookers, hearers.--Christopher

I can relate. I don’t like that feeling when you can’t do something but you want to very badly. Nice poem.

Thanks so much for all the sharing. Yeah, when I can manage simplicity, I think I’ve done something right.

Yes. Loved the pun! And the meaning of this poem. I am doing something, and that’s to give you credit for such a wonderful poem. 🙂

Yes, you are doing something. Something clever enough to make me laugh in appreciation. And feel grateful for your close and considerate response. We can do something, can’t we? You show me that.

Haha! Yes, we surely can! 😀
