    2026/01/20

    The tooth ache wouldn’t leave, and I was out of town. You know that pain. Like a great-uncle on the 100th re-telling of the African safari where he almost got gored. That pain. Only everyone’s left the room.

    I can’t be bored for even a moment, so I pick up my phone and begin to scroll. So what's the big problem?
