My name is Peter, and this is my Diary, back from internet limbo. Just a bloke in his late forties who's divorced with three awesome kids that I'm super proud of. I'm a writer, so entries could be fast and furious when the fingers are in a mood. I write comic books, novels, and poetry... so there should be no shortage of material here. I have been a member of Open Diary since June of 2000, and am a lifetime member. I'm glad to be back... and am happy to see OD is back as well.

Catch you on the flip side,

Peter

Update: Alive but so, so exhausted…

April 4, 2025
The last three months have been brutal, and I mean that in a good way. It's not just because we have a newborn baby that isn't sleep through the night, but rather having three kids under three and there was never a moment when all three were asleep at once. Needless to say mommy and…

    It's that time of year again! Christmas just sailed right on by and the new year is quickly approaching. I often like to use this time to reflect on the year that is about to exit stage left, and a yearly tradition here on Open Diary is to post both the lists of what I…

    I've got some pretty big announcements to make, but first I am going to apologize for not writing lately. This time I have a perfectly good excuse as the PC I've been using for the last six years went tits up. It crashed a few weeks ago, and I had no access to many sites…

    This is not a drill... someone turned 49 a day ago! It's true; Peter is now one year away from half a century. To be fair, I have been rocking my 40's... and look damn fine for my age! Getting back on track... I had a pretty decent birthday yesterday as well! I was up…

    This has been a killer summer for yours truly. While I haven't been writing as well as I would prefer to... other things have been going better than expected and that will do for now. When the kids go back to school in a few weeks, my plan is to buckle down and get shit…

    Yesterday Kat's mom sent me the following picture: Here we have the latest ultrasound of the new baby. Not much to look at, but according to the person who was conducting the test, everything looks normal. Well, as normal as it can look at this stage. And I did ask; they couldn't tell what the&he...

    I've always been a huge fan of this Tom Stoppard play. I have a copy of the script on paperback that I've read several times, and the DVD of the movie starring Tim Roth and Gary Oldman. So, when I heard there was a production of the playing coming to Toronto in March, also staring…
