Feels Like a Brand New Season
Oh well. Makes sense to me.
Kate – Have You Got Nothing to Say?
Maybe not. Or maybe I’m just trying to sort it all out. I feel a profound sense of peace, sort of like the calm before the storm. Or the eye in the middle of a hurricane. Whatever metaphor works. Or simile? For the first time in forever, I read the paper today and had no [...]
