About the narrator
Warning: This page is written in the third person. Yes, the a.r.w. often uses the third person even though there is just one writer behind the blog. We believe she is trying to “find her voice,” and thus, once the voice is found, the third person will promptly reside in the past. Stay tuned…

Completely agree with you, thanks for putting it out there!
So, why did it take us this long to be friends? Considering I read/talk to half your current blog roll?
Sigh. Glad we’ve fixed that
