I went to the Labyrinth. I thought it would be picturesque and quaint and that I would skip blithely through the hedge-rows while thinking about peace and calm and the bounteous life of the Harmonists.

Two years later it’s just as green and calm and nice…and I’m just as over-caffeinated, strung-out, and happy to be here.
At a certain point in the next 9 days, I will also be calm and nice…but maybe not green.
