Rediscovering “Philosophical Thoughts…”
Written on August 25, 2009 at 7:38 am, by cct
A year or so ago, I was compiling a list of “philosophical thoughts”. Just adages or musings I had over the course of time. I discovered them recently in my move – a printed paper that I used to have on my wall that, for whatever reason lost in time, I removed.

Been roaming the town with the summer season in starting to be in full swing (though June gloom is also full swing). So there’s more where all that came from. I have 3 events I haven’t done write-up’s…
