IF I am Springfield's most prolific essayist, I am Springfield's most prolific essayist who yammers to himself. The difference between that and what I WANT to be is the difference between "doing that old hand jive" late at night and making love to extremely close company. As long as I'm unemployed as a writer, I will consider Honey & Quinine to be little more than doing that old hand jive. Though I celebrate the other half of this fallen humanity (as well as my own) when breaking in new sheets, I write for all of it and hope to connect with kindred souls from the wholesome whole. I can't imagine anyone else would spend more than a minute glimpsing at H&Q, and your notes from time spent, and your encouragement, validate my lofty aspirations. Jerome –

You simply must be Springfield’s most prolific essayist.

I believe I’m on to you – you’re a time traveler, and you’ve recently lived in the 19th Century.
