The Importance of Story

(Soon, this parenthetical place holder will be filled with an irreverent yet poignant vignette on the importance of continuity within one's personal narrative. but, as i've not yet started it and haven't cracked a textbook since 2008, i'm gonna have to hit the PAUSE button till later. Sorry.)
