On blogging
Who even writes a blog about blogging? I guess I do. A few weeks ago, I went and saw the new Little Women. This blog is not a review of the movie. Suffice it to say that I thought it was beautiful. There are a few critical things I didn’t like about it, but that’s […]

Disney Band-Aids and Vulnerability
