Hello, and yes, that's a joke ... most of you are probably from the Northern Hemisphere. I'm bracing myself for tomatoes from you Argentinians and Australians. I'm at a point in my life where I don't know how old I am, I don't know what day of the week it is, I don't know who is president ... but I know that it is fall season, because the air feels crisp and I'm beginning to see the colors that mark its arrival. And I feel this urge to put down on paper what I, as just another human being going through it all, have perceived and interpreted, all this time. And maybe you folks can help a novice through that process. Hence, I am here. Hello.
