Let me begin with a general notice about the purpose of this page. First, as for the URL—to me, nothing is as comfortable as a hooded sweatshirt. I’ve worn hooded sweatshirts all my life, and, despite a likely move to a much more tropical climate, I’m not about to give them up. In fact, right now, I’m wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, as the extremely cool early-May temperatures demand it. I’m hoping that this page will be comfortable for me, and, by extension, you. I’m not very certain that this page will last, something that becomes less certain by the minute, with some pretty dramatic changes in my life: some having already occurred, some still being expected to occur.
