Musings on poetry, language, perception, numbers, food, and anything else that slips through the cracks.

Yes, indeed. I discovered recently that my wife and I have been blogging friends with the same woman for a good long time. Not the same as your experience but somewhat similar 🙂

  Stephanie and I started out as blogging friends nearly ten years ago. That we got to where we are now still amazes me.
