The Kid Calico Blog, as an entity of its own, is hungry for knowledge and understanding
I keep putting off starting my blog in earnest. The perfectionist in me wants to start at the beginning, but to find the beginning has thus far in my life been a futile attempt. The beginning of anything at all, when you really get down to it, is impossibly difficult to find. So this blog,…
