Rambling on about reflecting on the day and life in general… Driving home from work tonight, I saw the kind of sky that’ll make a person pull over, hush up, and forget whatever foolishness they were fussing about five minutes earlier.

Rambling about My Personal Overwhelm and the Search for Comfort and Control… Holy Mother of Moses… Life feels like a whirlwind lately, much like Dorothy’s journey through Oz.
