If you’ve followed my posts so far, you may have reached a conclusion in the last two weeks. That the lengthy gap between this post and my precious one might have been my prophecy of me losing interest in writing this journal coming true. […]

You may have noticed, hypothetical audience, that I don’t really discuss what’s going on in the news while bouncing between topics as wide-ranged as the origins of cooking and wanting to be left alone on the bus so I can read. This is a […]
