Day 135: Scale
It was pretty late last night by the time I carried in the bags of clothes and boxes of books and the one new bookshelf. I unpacked the books and put them in their new home, but I left the … Continue reading
Day 134: Shift
This afternoon, while I was loading some boxes of books into the van to bring up to North Carolina, my wife sidled up to me and said: Hey, you know what? We’re moving to the mountains! It’s amazing how fresh … Continue reading
