Among other things, it has always discouraged people who look for the blog by the name displayed on an apparent mast-head, instead of the name derived from the image. Something Platonically awry, I don't need to tell you. Yes, I am here, with a couple of protracted interruptions for which I need sometime to apologize, if I can repair them. I'm pretty well reconciled to accepting this setting in lieu of branching out into more influential platforms, because while I have always regretted a journal's incurably originating aspect with every entry, I am fortunate in a few readers such as yourself, who helped me to get the thing off the ground, the first time.Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972899387484460347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751850602006071202.post-76487987167412350662020-06-20T00:46:02.318-04:002020-06-20T00:46:02.318-04:00ahh so you are here still. bravo for you.
