On Pining, Coshocton’ing, and Facilitating a Blogging Workshop

“It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone… but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.” ― Kahlil Gibran My mom was a fan of Kahlil Gibran, especially of The Prophet, and I think she would forgive and understand if I take … More On Pining, Coshocton’ing, and Facilitating a Blogging Workshop

Annin Flag Factory Tour, Part 1: Patriotic Weekend Window!
