Jolly good journal entry tonight, my mind and pen were sharp and I wrote, rather eloquently, I thought, all the things I cannot post in so public a forum as The Secret Base. I am sorry if this blog has seemed hollow and superficial of late, but the troubles with which I am presently wrangling cannot be aired indiscreetly. Silence leaves my motives perilously open to misinterpretation, but I freely chose a set of principles by which to live my life, they were not forced upon me, and now that they demand silence I should bear it without complaint. Yet I pray you forgive me this small bit of hypocrisy as a reasonable price for an equally small bit of catharsis.
