When I prepared to leave my Southern Californian home in the winter of 2004, I thought it prudent to purchase the heaviest coat San Diego had in stock. It was a lightly quilted affair made of nylon that I would soon learn was not waterproof in the least. I made my purchase and emerged from…
No Books Were Read in the Making of This Blog Post
Confession: I haven’t read a single book in over a month. For the average person, that might not seem like such a big deal, but for someone whose entire identity for as long as they can remember has revolved around reading… It’s a difficult realization to wrap my brain around.
