Hello again, and welcome to the newest installation of the joint venture known as Scattered Thoughts.
I use the term "joint venture" because both of us have jobs here...you and I.
While admittedly, I do most of the heavy lifting by turning a magician's thin air into readable and flowing prose, your effort is then required to peruse and enjoy said work.
Yep, it's give and take, ying and yang, odd man out, red rover, red rover, send Jimmy right over, world-peace achieved-in-our-lifetime, grab a seat when the music stops kind of stuff.
I sincerely hope your life has rolled along as a well-oiled and properly tuned machine since last we spoke. I am well. Thanks for asking.
With that said, give me your hand and come this way.
I have many new thoughts to share with you....most of them scattered.
