The challenge

It came from [url=http://www.nibelung.org/eyes/]Jette, as query for some interesting links for Austin weirdness. Like I know a lot about that? Hardly. She writes, “Southerners like to tell stories.

Annual year in review

Annual year in review I’ve got text journals going back for what seems like years, doing an annual “year in review” and what to look forward to, for myself, in the coming year. What was last year like? The big mistakes, the great triumphs? Looking back helps me cast forward, too. I had dinner with Annual year in review
