Dearest reader, my, it has simply been an age this this author has cared to delve into this column. Well dear reader simply so much has happened. Firstly, this spinster has become the dreaded stereotype to which she tries to avoid. She has...adopted a feline. From an intellectual perspective this feline is rather an excellent test of this author’s fragile anxieties. For example, dear reader, this animal is quite vocal, and this author is in constant fear that there is something wrong or she is being a horrid human to this cat. Knowing full well of course that this feline is of Asian genetics and is prone to meow simply because she can. In any case dear reader, I do anticipate to be back upon my path of hiatus, but could simply not come and tell you of this advancement in my lonely existence. Until next time, dear reader.
