Gumbo and the bully
Today was going to be a random day. I had no intention of being profound. The last two days around here have been heavy in length and dialogue and, while the weather is on the verge of changing for the better (I whisper l’est the cloud over Cleveland hears me), I still haven’t been very [...]
