Welcome to my miscellannie world

I'm a person known for my quirky labeling practices. My box of glue, scotch tape, and labels is titled'sticky stuff'. I have a OneNote section named 'fun stuff and profound'. Miscellannie is an online equivalent, with the emphasis on the fun stuff. I'm glad you stopped by. Enjoy the flotsam and jetsam.
