Did you ever chase a random thought down a dark alley, then poke and prod it once it was trapped until it yelled "Uncle"?
Well, I do that, occasionally. Other times some event in my life strikes me as the sort of thing I want to remember for later, in which case I write what you might think of as a letter to my future self. So that's what I've got collected here.
Were you wondering how you tell the difference between thoughtful essays and lunatic raving? Me too.
