hello

...and le welcome.

To launch this strange public spectacle of blog, I present: the contents of my computer's basement. Stuff I've written for newspapers either so lo-cal that they don't have archives, or who didn't have archives back then, or who just decided my stuff wasn't worth valuable forever-space on their websites. Fair enough. I still have most of the things I wrote (strangely, a bunch of them seem to be the same article that I wrote in new words year after year...) Here they are, in the next few posts. Are you sitting comfortably? Ah.
