So Far

I’m about two days from changing the website, I swear. I think part of the reason that I’ve been dragging my feet is that I really like my site, it’s just getting creaky. It’s time for a change, but, you know, I built it with my own two hands and latent html skills, and it…

Happy Veterans Day.

I spend a lot of time looking at couples’ left hands, trying to figure out if they’re married/engaged or not. Occupational hazard.
