Greetings

Hi, there! I'm a very Crusty Mask. If you care to know who I am and what I'm about, check out the About Me page. Otherwise, enjoy my ramblings below, I guess. They're listed in reverse chronological order, so the top one is the newest published and so on. I don't keep much continuity between posts, so it shouldn't matter a great deal, anyway.

If you share similar interests, contact me using the means listed in the Contact page to talk over a link exchange. See that page for disclaimers.
