I’m going to hide most of this post behind a link, as I haven’t ruminated like this in a while and there are likely many people who either won’t want to read the whole thing or don’t know me well enough to care about me going on about family and other assorted things.

One Day Marked for Reflection.

Saturday, 14 April, 2001 – 20:51

Easter Saturday is always so somber an occasion for myself and my friends.
