As people comment on my posts, I do my best to respond. It is the least that I can do. Well, actually the least would be to completely ignore you, but the SECOND least I can do is trying to respond. Sometimes, though, a few fall through the cracks. They end up in my spam […]

This was the situation I found myself in this evening as I looked at my phone. There, somehow going unnoticed throughout the […]

I’ve heard legend of a time when all of the information that people were aware of were stored in things called “books.” These books, called encyclopedias, were sold door to door by men who desperately hoped for a family to drop the hundreds of dollars it would take to have this information in their home.
