In conversation, I prefer Christopher. My mom named me after Christopher Robin, after all. In writing, I use “C L Couch” (or, more simply, “c l couch”) because the form is genderless and also frankly easier to use. I have awful writer’s cramp. I am an educator more or less retired, more or less due to disability. At present, I live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania (USA). My writing here I mean to be occasional and also devotional. Either or both. The banner and profile photographs are by my friend and peer Debra Danielson. More of Debbie’s work to be enjoyed is at debradanielson.org. Thanks to each of you and both and all for coming to my blog.

I’ve been wondering about this! Had a rough day and a brain freeze.. couldn’t think clearly. Thanks for sharing this.

Certainly. The Anglo-Saxons argued for multiple solutions to riddles, one solution being abstract and the other more material. That must have led to some fisticuffs. I tried to make riddles with one solution per, though I doubt I’d fight with anyone who sees something different. Thanks for bearing with them at all!
