The Haunting by alan shapiro
It may not be the ghostly ballet of our avoidances that they’ll remember, nor the long sulks of those last months, nor the voices chilly with all the anger we were careful mostly not to show in front of them, nor anything at all that made our choice to live apart seem to us both not only unavoidable but good, but just. No, what I think will haunt them is precisely what we’ve chosen to forget:...

I moved my Skills and Proficiencies section to below Education and above Work History. I also made some amendments:

Trains: David Shumate
I am seduced by trains. When one moans in the night like some dragon gone lame, I rise and put on my grandfather’s suit. I pack a small bag, step out onto the porch, and wait in the darkness. I rest my broad-brimmed hat on my knee. To a passerby I’m a curious sight—a solitary man sitting in the night. There’s something unsettling about a traveler who doesn’t know where...

My last post about my Tumblarity dropping raised my Tumblarity.
I’m not sure how Tumblarity is calculated, but I am certain it correlates perfectly with our relative value as human beings.
