Normally, I start drafting these posts on the first of every month, but this month was a little different. Didi and I got home from our honeymoon on the 1st and we were pretty wiped out, and had some errands to run, and by the time we were done, we had no gas left in … Read more
Hey, it’s the return of the 101 Things in 1001 Days! Shit has been chugging along, as usual, and I’m making pretty good progress. My only concern at this point is time. I definitely bit off more than I could chew on this list, and it’s going to bite me in the ass. Items completed … Read more
