    I Kept Journals

    Off and on throughout my life, I have been a writer. I guess you could say that I am a writer. Among other things, I kept journals. I still keep journals. I just don’t write in them as much as I used to (although I’m working on getting back into the habit). Snoopy, the Red…

    Reading, Writing & The Absence of Presence
