Let there be no illusions, I would prefer to meet you in a
real place in a real time. This blog postis a necessary archive of some of my mind’s
thoughts in the meantime. To take these words and converse is mostly a dream,
however, and so I publish some of them in the cloud. Only this technology is somewhat
new, but this is not unlike what writer’s have always done with their work.
Below lie the links to essays and other words. I still take an egg crème at Aimee’s now and
then. Or you might find a bench in South Park with a real version of me sitting
on it. And of course, I walk to the river.
