[So. Here I was all set to post up yet another abomination of rhetoric, language, and good taste, when WHAM: I spied an email in my Inbox from Tim Butterfield. And OMG! This has entirely forced me to change plans, scrap the rhetoric, and concoct new “language.” Right. And, yes, I do want to...

The Washington Administraction Presents… WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO [“Pen and Paper”] ? So, what in this world is ever happening to pen and paper?
