I've lived in houses with pools on occasion in my life, and unlike a house that is near the beach, lake or ocean, we don't say the house is by a pool. Why is that? And stranger, why do we sometimes just forget that we have a pool or even look at it every single... Continue Reading →
Wherefore thou art ? I've been doing other things, being busy, being lazy, being asocial. Talking to people in person, even. Talking to no one and sorting through my stuff to organize it.
