Went looking for serendipity, today,… found something else, instead.
Go fig.
It’s strange, I know,…
My head is full of people, all who want their stories told.
Wrandom Wisdom
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. ~ Galileo Galilei

Such a clever man:
Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement; then it becomes a mistress, and then it becomes a master, and then a tyrant.
