We can depend much more upon reaching an end than on coming from a beginning.
I tried not to make a big deal of it but, for those that didn’t happen by this morning, it was my last regular shift at the Unicorn. If this is news to you, know that it all happened quite suddenly, but know also that I will definitely not be a stranger, nor have I […]
