“Who knows where the time goes”

Documents that changed me
Yes, I know I haven’t written for awhile. My friend Joe is getting a lot of press for having turned his podcast series, Documents that changed the world, into a book, with a slightly different title, Documents That Changed the Way We Live. So here’s one that changed me. Found in an old filing cabinet … [Read more…]
