Hi, friends. I'm going to be away from this space for about a week and a half, so I'm leaving some nibbles to tide you over till I get back.

I thought about listing some "most popular" posts, but, well, you may have read those already. So instead, here are some less-loved posts from the past. Why less loved? Funny story; at the beginning of the summer, there were one-fifth as many of you reading as there are now.* While I'm away, why not share your favorite Inkfish story with a friend, or follow me here or on Twitter?
