Posted on Thu, 10 Sep 2015
How intriguing, Terry! There seems such a lot that can be unpacked from that: the fading things that come to life again, the relivening of the daze dismembering December (January sometimes seems a daze to people after the excitement of the end of...

This brought back memories!
Posted on Wed, 09 Sep 2015
