I realize i don't have a full person in my head yet for you. Part of the issue is that i started reading your journal in late June -- and my mind became completely obsessed with work in early July.

Reading back, though, i realize how much i respect the post you made about visiting the cobblers' shop. I respect the responsibility and care and thrift that visiting the cobbler represents, but also there's also a delightful curiosity coupled with care. I look forward to getting to know you better as you continue.
