The past few weeks make me wonder how much of the twists and turns I experience are outcomes of my obdurate tortoise approach to living.

I mentioned last week that I intended to write about The Overton Window. The time has come to actually circle back to something mentioned in a previous post. On that note, I will eventually return to other topics promised that I’ve been procrastinating on…once the procrastination quota is reached. The Overton Window is a political […]
