Maintenance!

This site is temporarily undergoing maintenance and upgrading. Imagine this site was getting a haircut, but halfway through the cut the hairdresser’s fingers got all numb and he had to run to a doctor. That’s kinda like this, and now we’re stuck with this ugly in-between phase.

Please check back later.
Thank you for your patience.

Editing a previous draft. Good to take some time away and get some objectivity. Then you can read it fresh and see what it wants to be (as opposed to what you tried to make it become). Only through the first few pages of the edit.
