Making Light
Oh, to be in a cabin on a mountainside surrounded by woods, staring out at the morning whilst sipping my coffee... I'm as close to that as I can be in Kansas, sitting instead in front of a computer writing as I take my daily dose of caffeine. At least there are mountains painted on my mug.

That’s not to say I agree with anything which occurred. As I said, I’m not actually going to express an opinion, but I will reassure ...
