This is an odd book. 24 stories and poems and reflections, fragments of thought and bursts of creativity carefully curated to fit together. Oh yes, it fits together. There's another clue for you all. Sometimes I craft an essay with great care and toss it fretfully out there, and no one reacts. Sometimes I dash something off and am praised for my brilliance. Mostly I galumph along, so this little road trip may feel a little galumphy from time to time. Thanks for coming along.
