there are thousands of thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up the pen and writes

    It's been 15 years since the blog started.
    I remember sitting down to peck out those first few posts, how momentous and scary it seemed.
    It wasn't, really, in itself.
    But it did open the door to a different world.
    I wonder, how much of what's happened since would not have happened, without the blog?
    Was this the impetus of the change?
    One stolen taste.
    "Freedom."
