Marie Snyder
I write here to keep my thoughts from falling out of my head. And I summarize things to keep from accidentally revisiting them over and over and never noticing. It saves time in the long run. - Marie Snyder, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, the Earth, the Universe -- Also check out my monthly piece at 3 Quarks Daily
