Introduction A good friend describes me as "unapologetically introspective." This blog represents an effort to understand myself and my world. If you find something of yourself in it, or crack a smile, or shed a tear, or have the urge to respond, then I'll have turned introspection into interaction. I view my blog as my journal, and I give myself permission to be as sappy, self-indulgent, whiny, and pathetic as I want to be. If you're reading, I hope you will read charitably, and let me know if something I've written for my own benefit has had the added bonus of affecting you, as well!

The squish of mud between your toes; how would you live your life as a frog?

I would eat as much as I wanted, whenever I wanted!
