| Introduction | I started out as a child, but I like to think I've come a long way. My better half has said the jury's out for a while. I guess it's not really that important to me, as I never find answers move me like questions. I don't feel any older than when I was ten and saw my grandmother lying in her coffin. That was a long time ago, but time is a fiction in every important way. You either get that, or you don't get it yet. |
