Old sunset. New dawn.

Old sunset. New dawn

So, I did a thing. Actually, I did many things. Some of them were even new. But the main new thing I did was I refreshed the look (and feel) of my blog. It needed it. It hadn’t been updated since 2013, when I originally established the site. Which is an extraordinary long time, especially […]
