Today is not a sad day.
For twenty years, I have operated this website as a profound labor of love. It has not made me wealthy, but it has made me relevant. It has also made me friends; a few fancy byline types I like to drink with in Edison Park and at the Billy Goat among them. Most importantly, it has given a writer a space to write. Not only write but also be read, which is essential for someone who strings words together for a living.
