Day 328: Vacation
OK, so our long holiday break doesn’t start until tomorrow when everyone comes home from school, but mentally, I think I’m already there. Maybe it’s the post-home-selling decompression, but rather than buckling down to address whatever is the next thing … Continue reading
Day 312: Chop
No, I didn’t carry water. And actually, it was more like chainsaw instead of chop. Today, I spent the first part of the day outdoors climbing–sure, the morning started off cold, but with with a bright sun and a south-facing … Continue reading
Day 311: Debunk
