Sorting through my unpublished drafts and stumbled across this little half-written gem from 2015.  Ahem. Funny what we find when start cleaning things up, isn’t it? This ‘time off’ has been an interesting look at the past — all those small projects which were begun, but somehow never finished.

Working backwards, the only thing I had was the title, so I’m assuming I meant to do some sort of…
