It’s been quiet around here lately, but that’s only because I’ve been sidetracked by work on my book. Things will get back to normal next week once this lovely burst of creative energy subsides. In the meantime, The Five-Year-Old has a question.
The Five-Year-Old, politely: “Daddyo, can we have a conversation?”
Daddyo: “Of course.”
The Five-Year-Old, curiously: “Were you alive before spiders became abundant?”
