🕯️ Twice Upon a Time…
…because only the best stories begin with “twice upon a time…”
There was a writer who hadn’t actually written much of anything public-facing that was interesting and thought she’d try her hand at blogging. This was largely because she’d recently embarked on some fun and crazy adventures and considered these worth sharing.
She also thought writing about herself in past tense and third person was weird…
So, enough of that.
Welcome to my blog.
This is primarily an online journal-of-sorts for me to keep in touch with friends, family, and anyone else who doesn’t mind rambly posts that are somewhat loosely based around a theme of digital nomadery, and are peppered with obscure movie lines and neologisms.
It will also include posts with various thoughts and ideas, and probably some accounts that explain why one of my friends has suggested that if I go missing it’s because I’ve been subjected to being part of a fringe-science experiment to see if luck can be distilled and bottled for redistribution. 🍀
DISCLAIMER: Since I have friends and family across a spectrum of beliefs and political persuasions–and because I like comedy and know that it usually walks the fine line of telling the truth and being offensive–I’ll probably accidentally say something that results in your being bothered at one point or another. If this happens, please consider reaching out to me to talk about anything you’d like to clarify. While I can’t guarantee that I’ll change my mind (nor that I won’t determine in the course of the discussion that you’re no fun and need to grow a thicker skin), I can say with assurance that I mean things all in good fun and never with any malice.
TL;DR – Meme Version of the Above Disclaimer
In the vein of everyone’s being welcome, I thought about starting this blog site with the following Shel Silverstein poem:
“Invitation” from Shel Silverstein’s Where the Sidewalk Ends with a slight modification, ’cause I’m more keen on fryers than liars. Friars are okay, too. And liars, as long as they tell me they are.
But then I realized that I was well past the start of the page, so I put it in here at the middle instead.
(I suppose I should have said, “If you like putting up with dumb jokes, come in!”)
But, really, if you think that there is nothing musically more Medieval than a synthesizer and get the following reference then…
Have a look around, see if there’s anything you find interesting.

Here’s how it is:
All of the content here is intended to be used entirely free of charge and financial or emotional obligation.
However, some have asked about how to support the blog (or buy me pancakes–lol, and thank you!) and I wanted to make that option available to them, too.
I am currently trying out the entrepreneurial route and could get a real job in my field quickly if I needed one, so…
“It’s more of a…voluntary vow of poverty, really…”
Nevertheless, if you still feel inclined to do so, you may:
