I almost forgot to mention this! As promised, sort of, this is an all-Evening Standada week on Anacrusis. Hover your mouse over the story text to see the title that inspired it. Your entertainment has never been more like the news!
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.
