Christmas and Thanksgiving are well and good, but I think it’s important to put your mark on time, and divide it up in some way particular to your own world and [...]
It’s pissing rain this morning, so though I have in the last ten days given up caffeine, the coffee shop calls to me as a waypoint that might eliminate further soaking. One block from the coffee shop lurks what once was the second-best used bookstore I had ever known, The Book House. I say “once [...]
