I’m off wandering the moors (What? There’s a castle, surely there are moors not far from here), but I have not forgotten you. Each wandering day, I hope to bring you at least one nugget of discovery.

I feel like not one of us was really prepared to go back to work today. I may be making big assumptions. You may have been ready and eager to hit the ground running. I was mostly ready to hit the ground and made plans to go to happy hour because I wasn’t finished expressing
For those celebrating July 4th, I hope you have a terrific and safe holiday! I have plans to hide in a dark corner and write. Clearly, the party never ends for me. For those of you still looking for entertainment, I give you this:
Because I like to mentally torment myself whenever possible, I was inspired to create a list of things that did not exist the last time I had a legitimate first date. By first date, I mean an actual “Gee, you’re kinda pretty, would you like to go out with me and form a meaningful lifetime
