About Me |
|
| I was born in the wrong era. I suffer from nostalgia and false sympathies with the past. I identify with the thirties, the highways and open roads, the dust bowl, and Bonnie & Clyde. I’m sad that “email” is part of my vocabulary. The only things I prefer to be new have expiration dates, like food or pharmaceuticals. | |
