For some reason, I was siezed this morning by an urge to google Colin Goggin, the only elementary-era Best Friend with whom I haven’t been in contact this year. Apparently he’s been busy building solar cars and balloon-launched gliders, or was a couple of years ago. Colin Goggin! Do you still exist? And egosurf?
Dear gentle reader: this blog has been operating continuously since I was a teenager. The writing below is at least a decade old. In that time every molecule of my body has been replaced, along with many foolish ideas and flighty beliefs. I want to keep some of those things public out of an honesty and humility I owe the world. I trust you to carry that context with you.
