DEAR PATIENT READER (and anyone else who happens by),
Please enjoy this mellow mix of rusty recollections, offbeat observations, friendly particularism, tasty recipes, unpretentious poetry, entertaining quotes, recreational science, and wry spirituality. And if you’re eager to meet my short-story hero Prosatio Silban, the self-defrocked holyman in a fantastic land who makes a meager but honest living as a mercenary cook, allow me to introduce you!
Thank you for your patronage, and be well,
