A Book Fantasy
Wherein I engage in undue speculation on the fate of volumes that were set adrift about this weary world.
“When you walk through a storm, hold your head up high…”
After I finished writing my previous blog post, I went to bed. I took off my socks, took off the foot dressing... and discovered another opening in the skin. Oh joy, oh bliss, oh crepes suzette. I'm going to make an emergency appointment with my podiatrist. Although none of this has been serious yet, the situation is…
I needed a feel-good moment
