So I have had a very good day today, celebrating a hard-won victory, and I'm currently tipsy. So this is a post I'm writing basically as drunk as I allow my self to get. (i.e. happy, less inhibited, definitely should not drive, but can still be you ...

Banes at 12:00AM, June 8, 2023
There are many areas where the “rule of three” comes into play. There are plenty of them in storytelling.
Fairy Tales and Fables are full of threes, of course, with Three Little Pigs, Three Bears, Three Wishes, and on and on - the first unit sets things up, the second reinforces ...
Don't forget to have fun
