I’ve been at a bit of a loss for words lately. Many things have happened here, and each time I’ve had a reason, whether personal or professional, for choosing silence over writing, and I’ve just left it at that. I’m well aware that I’m out of the habit of writing now, but I’m also aware that I have to be very careful of what I say, because my name is now well enough known in the library world that my co-workers can easily google my name and turn up this site.

And the film ends five minutes after you hit the ground, and you’re alive during that last five minutes, catching your last few breaths.
