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

Starting a new decade with new poetry…

November 1, 2025
Even though I make next to nothing with these publications, I love being a poet. I've written a dozen poetry books, and just the satisfaction of creating them is all it takes to make me happy. Any sales I make is just gravy, aka the added bonus. I always like to post a new poetry…

    It's been a minute, eh? I keep promising everyone, and even myself, that I would keep updating here and then a month or so passes and 2025 is just flying on by. So, here I am with yet another end of a month update. I'm doing alright health wise (knock on wood), and the kids…

    For some people, just making to the next day is a win. If that's the case than I am winning every damn day. I may be barely scraping by, but I have my health and my amazing kids. So, as long as I have clothes on my back, food to eat, and a place to…

    Can you believe we're in May? My older brother's birthday is less than a week away and we are almost at the halfway point of 2025. Hockey playoffs are in full swing... Go Leafs... and things are going well so far! The kids are all growing like weeds, and it's hard to believe they're all…

    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…

    I wasn't able to spend much time with Owen and the girls as I had Ethan and Jon at my place for the holiday this year. All the kids had a great Christmas and are looking forward to the year ahead.  I got to see the younger kids yesterday, and Kat is now staying over…

    The Ten Worst Movies of 2024
    December 26, 2024
    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…

  • 49 and loving it!
    October 29, 2024
    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…
