How do I continue?
Typepad, you are useless. I should have left you decades ago. But, much like an AOL email address, I���m just too lazy to quit you.
I talked to my husband about this. ���I know a person,��� I said. but the effort to clean up 15-year-old writing feels similar to an abandoned wood bench. It would feel good to purge it, but good enough to warrant the effort? One wonders.
