The Hug

In contrast to yesterday’s tender image, The Kiss, this embrace seems altogether different. Alcohol induced, they don’t even bother to put down their cigarettes. He caught me taking this initial … Continue reading The Hug

Hello & Welcome!

Iโ€™m John Hayes – aka oopsjohn, the ‘holy goof’ – an enigmatic septuagenarian with Pantagruelian appetites and a near-fatal tendency to ask too many questions.

Expect to find on this site an ever-evolving and widely diverse collection of โ€œpics & quipsโ€ as well as conjectures and reflections designed to inform and engage.

I have no ax to grind or soapbox opinions to bludgeon you with (sic!), although I often play โ€˜devilโ€™s advocateโ€™ in order to encourage critical thinking.

Thanks for visitingโ€ฆ
