Last night at a bar in Wheeling, West Virginia – The Alpha – a person got my attention and told me he had once been my first-year English student in southeast Ohio. He had written, in an paper, that he attended Wheeling Park High School, he said, and I had written on his paper, “I [...]

You know what that is, don’t you?
It’s egg nog! SW and I made it, partly because she’s having a party tomorrow night, but also because I wanted to drink egg nog and because I’ve never made it. There’s more: I additionally thought it would be fun.
