A Smorgasbord

It’s been a while since I’ve poured out my thoughts here so figured no time like the present. Forgive the typos, the F key on my laptop is broken and sticks and sometimes doesn’t work at all. Perhaps a metaphor for life. Perhaps not. Who knows to be honest. This piece will be all over the place…as the title says, a smorgasbord if you will. … Continue reading A Smorgasbord
