A Profound Look Back at the Week: October 11-17

A week of clouds, rain, chill, and leaves turning red, yellow and everything in between. Peak autumn. Not so peak happy me because life keeps interfering but that’s its job, isn’t it?

A Profound Look Back at the Week: September 27 – October 3

With September melting into October normality is returning. To my life, that is, not to the world. That train, in the immortal words of Jason Stackhouse, has sailed.

A Profound Look Back at the Week: June 28 – July 4
