i've finally joined station; i was afraid i wouldn't have anything else to say. i think, instead what i'd like to do to coincide with my cafe is post quotes that i particularly like here. i hope they make you smile, or think, or just pause for a moment. otherwise, i may post things that just seem to fit here that doesn't elsewhere.
thank you for indulging me.
